I just purchased a 2018 JL Unlimited Sport 4X4 with 17" aluminum wheels.
I have read various opinions about wheel locks here, but I have used them of for years on vehicles with nice wheels that may be attractive to thieves. However, this is my first vehicle to have an outside mounted spare on the back, seemingly ready made for someone to rip off (along with the camera in the center). I am frankly more concerned about that wheel & tire than the ones on the ground, but still want to secure all of them.
As it understand it the JL went to metric 14mm X 1.5 threads whereas the JK was 1/2" SAE. The only wheel locks I have found online come in packs of 4 with a key. If I buy 2 packs, they may have different keys, plus have to spend more money.
Does anyone have a recommendation to accomplish my goal of locking all the wheels, including the spare?
Thanks,
Gary
