I see Semis running those all the time, and think WTF lol - they are far more intimidating for lower vehicles

Cheers

I don't blame the big rigs for using them... too many selfish idiots on the road don't realise how inconsiderate and dangerous cutting them off, is!... imvfho....

from personal experience, I can attest to the fact that spikes on a semi are NOT required to do damage to a vehicles doors when that vehicle "doesn't see" a tractor/set of doubles and merges into the front wheel of the tractor. bothe myself and a co-worker have had this happen (hers was similar damage to a BMW 8 series).

"Wow" reaction because I'm amazed you're admitting to doing that.

sounds like your reading comprehension is not all that it should be: the car merged into my front wheel: what exactly am I admitting to? traveling down the road in my own lane?

dude, you need to learn to read

If you have ever used that toy lug wrench that came with your vehicle and rounded that aluminum cover on the factory lug nut in a place where couldn't get the tools to cut that POS off, and didn't have a smaller wrench to get the lug nut off. You will replace the factory BS lugs with anything and in my book that makes you a genius. The day I bought the Mav I ordered a full set of solid steel lug nuts. I opted for the chrome with 7/8 heads. They look good on my truck, IMO.

You didn't state that you were the truck driver.

There are some very effective spike aka cone shaped wheel locks. The YouTube channel "Project Farmer" did a review of different wheel lock set and included this in the video. I will update this post later with a link to that video when I find it. Unless someone beats me to it.

I was actually worried these were going to be a bit "Ben Hur" when I bought the cheaper 2" long spline nuts for my winter wheels. Aren't sticking real far out and are within the dish of the wheel. Actually pretty handy to have that extra length when fiddling with them with gloves on, so useful in a winter nut...

FYI, the ones you linked will NOT fit our Mavericks. Here is a M14 x 1.50 set.

Thank you for catching that. I honestly misted that myself.

Am I the only one that finds this both ridiculous and yet oddly satisfying?

These are actually on my list to get. I figured it'd be cooler to have those and to act as a deterrent of theft (who has that long of a deep socket on the regular?) Also then not having to fumble around for that one off key lug when needed.

Is it really that simple to break lugnuts loose with a simple set of standard vice grips? There is very little leverage. I want to see it done with those torqued at 110 lbs.
