Cheap plastic ones.
Mike,
I thought about getting wheellocks but the plastic lugbolt caps are such a pain to get off without that plastic U-shaped cap remover, I don't think anyone's gonna steal my wheels.
With the caps on, it's virtually impossible to fit a wrench over it. If they try to pry out the caps with a screwdriver (which is almost impossible to do), they'll have to pry out 20 of them...a PITA. If a thief is carrying around one of them U-shaped removers, then they're also probably carrying around a bunch of wheellock keys too, so they'll get your wheels either way.<p>Andrew Lee
