Are you saying that you have wheel locks on your wheels, but don't have the key? If yes, you definitely need the key.

I'm saying that I don't know if the wheels are locked on and need the wheel lock to unlock them or the wheels are just not locked on.

They do not come with locks from the factory, so no key is needed. Sometimes a dealer may add them as a delivery add on option.

If all of the lug nuts on each wheel are the same, you do not have wheel locks. If one of the lug nuts on each wheel is round on the outside and has a series of curved grooves in its face, you do have wheel locks and will need the corresponding key to remove the wheel lock.

However, with what these wheels cost, I'd suggest that you get some locks. They are pretty inexpensive. You have to make sure that you get the right ones.

Gorilla doesn't make any for our vehicles yet, but I just sent in an inquiry, so we'll see what they say. IMO, they make some of the best locks out there.

The Mopar brand locks are a McGard product and you can get them from one of the vendors.

I wish locks like what I bought for my Mustang were available. Every single lug is locked now and the key fits inside the luck instead of outside to help prevent impact scarring on the wheel recesses.

I bought the Gorilla locks and they looks very good once installed.

Dumb question, Your suppose to put all 20 wheel locks on your truck? Instead of one per tire?

You can put on as many as you want. It's up to you how much protection you want.

I checked out the Summit link for these wheel locks... and here's the dumb question: what's the difference between LH and RH?

Thread direction... RH=right-hand threads, "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey"
