Looking for GM wheel locks in black

[kerlyb]

Looking for these same GM wheel locks but in BLACK. Anyone have part #?

@915_Tahoe is the parts master. Be careful with wheel locks. Thief’s know how to take them off and if you lose the key you’ll be stuck with a flat.

those locks look absolutely useless, from all appearences anyway

Maybe it's the thieves that are making them and selling them?

They don't offer those in black, that I have seen.
* well not in that style anyways.

Bummer, thats what I thought. My online search came up with nothing. I really wanted these GM wheel locks so as to match up to the stock black lug nuts with decent level of security.

Don't care for the other type GM wheel lock or even Mcgard wheel locks...thieves know how to remove them.

Other option is Advanced Wheel Locks but lug nuts are conical in shape.

I've got the black GM ones that are conical/have a groove in the flat top. But, I have to say that I really didn't realize it until I washed my truck for the second time since getting it at the end of November. IOW, they certainly don't stick out in a bad way against my factory, black wheels ('cause if they did, I'd be looking for something closer to the non-locking lugs, too).

Are your black GM wheel locks conical like these from Advanced Wheel Locks???

I was thinking the same, it looks like a regular socket could take them off?

ya even they had a extra side on them or something a different sized socket likely work or a piece of metal inserted on one edge.
it "might" stop some one in a hurry but that's about it.

Sorry, no — I meant that mine were cylindrical, not conical.

I have these and a regular socket would not take them off, nor would your suggestion of the metal piece. The top lug portion is a chrome cover that can spin and is not how the lock tightens. That being said, a determined individual could get them off but they match the OEM nicely and unless you know what you are looking at, you cannot distinguish the lock from the others.

Can't remove these GM wheel locks with a conventional socket or vise grip wrench...the hex head spins freely. If you look at the key socket, the "ridges" insert onto base of each nut for removal. The "ridges" are also unique to each wheel lock set.

Of course wheel locks in general are never 100% secure...just designed to deter or slow down thieves.

that makes them more useful then

try looking by adding a number or subtracting a number to the last digit of the gm part number so if it ends in 8 make it a 9 or a 7, sometimes gm makes parts of the same type and just changes the last number

My service guy sez the shop has a special shaped tool they hammer onto the locking nut and then remove it with a long bar. I’m sure the thugs have the same tool.

I just ordered some in Canada. Assuming it’s the same: #85105299

Edit: just checked and they’re discontinued?

 

[kerlyb]

I ended up going with the Advanced Wheel Locks. Can't see how any thief could remove these. Also nice to know Made in USA.
