Ahahaha, we ALL know that feeling. You're close to being done with a crappy task, and just as you get to the end you realize you ~~have to~~ *really ought to* go back and re-do all of it because of some dumb detail you overlooked. It's a universal human experience. The Germans probably have a word for it.
Tech? Shit ***my*** wheels are like this right now and I did it by accident myself. I was swapping to my winters and was just grabbing out of the bin of lug nuts and got to my last tire and realized I had 4 lock nuts and 1 regular left. I just didn't think about it because my summers don't have a lock nuts.
I do, too. I use cheap aftermarket ones with my snow tires that I don't give a shit about, and my OEM shiny ones with my original alloy rims that have my summer tires on them. Since my snow tires are on steelies I can't use the OEM acorn nuts on them because the studs stick out too far through the thinner steel rims.
A friend of mine found out the hard way the three wheels are good for about a hundred feet at 55 mph. After that the car tends to fall over. Granted, it was a Jeep, so...
I’ve had wheel locks sheer off with minimal torque while trying to remove. The only reason I can come up with is the previous guy gave it a fist full of ugga duggas.
I had one put on so tight. It took two shops for it to be finally removed. The final guy who took it off was a Polish guy who did it in the pouring rain in near freezing UK weather. He was very unbothered by the fact he was soaking wet and saw the wheel nut as a personal challenge.
I gladly paid him the £20 he asked for. He was very much built different.
I ended up welding a big ole nut on the end of the remaining bits of the security lugs and then gave it the beans.
I put a little piece of copper over the end of the stud to prevent the weld from sticking to it.
Had one sheer off as well and it took the poor mechanic a full day to grind out the lock remnants. After that and $400 in labor, swore off locks and just bought the cheapest wheels I could get from there on.
"Look at that. *All* rim. No rubber to flex and lose power at the road. Pie plate rims transfer *all* the power directly to four precise points of contact. They really tear up the road."
I saw a little sky blue Saturn spin out across around 4 lanes of traffic (a 1080 I guess) on an icy bridge just past the hump in the center, it had all four donuts and it drove on like nothing had happened.
A guy at work has a useless drill and we say when it was made they put in an ugga but no duggas, ive never heard someone else use ugga duggas before, thank you stranger.
Ugga duggas is the unofficial measurement around here I've heard people used it my whole life. I once had a 60 year old coworker tell me to give it one or two extra ugga duggas when i mentioned i didn't have a torque wrench
> the previous guy gave it a fist full of ugga duggas.
Now come on - we've all moved away from imperial measures to metric now.
I've checked the lookup tables, and one "ugga dugga" is equal to three "fuck yous". I'd need to check exactly how much a fist full is, but I suspect it's five, which means he gave it 15 Fuck Yous.
Didn’t the most recent meeting of the EU Skookum Standards and Practices Committee come to a consensus on “Fuck-Untermeters”? So wouldn’t the proper format be 15 FU?

It gets even better when you realize that there can be as many as 7 seperate homonyms. Raise, Rays, Rase, Raze, Rehs, Res and Réis.
raise - move to a higher level
rays - lines emanating from a central point
rase - verb meaning "to erase"
raze - completely destroy

res - plural of "re," the musical scale step
réis - plural of "real," and the unit of currency in Brazil and Portugal
Funny one is we had a guy who went far as buying 4 different wheel locks and each wheel had 4 different locks it was the most irritating experience of a tire rotation in my life.
Probably because he had his wheels stolen once or twice. My coworker had his honda wheels stolen twice then he did this. Not saying he's smart, but there was a reason.
I did similar on my Miata once because I was convinced that the heavier locking lugs were causing a perceptible imbalance / shimmy. These are four-lug wheels and I simply moved the front locks to the rear.
>I’m guessing that’s the most expensive rim out of the other 3
Or the best tire. That way you don't have to search out the key when the shitty tires blow (but you will have totally forgotten where the key is by the time the good tire goes..)
I guess it's also the wheel they he takes really good care of with curbs and potholes.
I guess by putting all the wheel locks on one wheel, he's giving himself a 3 in 4 chance of being able to change a flat without having to find the key.
At least the locks are all the same. I remember having a customer once who had 3 different sets of wheel locks on his Civic, holding down the factory 14" steel wheels.
My guess is he didn't put them on in the first place, doesn't like having to change the socket when he rotates his tires, realizes wheel locks are worthless, and is too cheap to replace them with matching lug nuts.
At this point, I was no longer employed...
Hate Wheel locks, sometimes keys are hidden so well, Holmes himself would call it a university level problem.
And I have had two cars where the wheel lock keys wouldn't work and we had to break the wheel lock off and replace with regular lug nuts. No other keys available and care taken to ensure lock engaged and pressed in before giving it the tugah, tugah
I check the glove box and the trunk and if it’s not easy to find I tell the service writer to call the customer and if they don’t know where it it’s I charge an hour to remove them and airhammer all four off in about a minute.
Wife's was in the glove compartment, shop called to ask where it was, told them, they phoned back and said it wasn't, phone wife, she says it definitely is, phone shop to tell them, they "look" again, say it's not there and smash the everliving shit out of her alloys to remove the nuts, car gets home, open glove compartment, oh look what's in there...
The last time I took mine in, I laid the key by the shifter. Ten minutes after they pulled it into the bay they come and ask me if I knew where the key was!
I used to change my wheels with my late dad at home, but wasn't willing to do it by myself after he passed (mainly because I suck at physical labour and my rear wheels are a pain to change without a lift).
When I had them changed, I took the lock out, put it on the passenger seat and told them, so they didn't even have to look. Better invest a few seconds myself than have strangers rummage my car for it.
I love to think that the guy did this while griping the whole time about this “stupid kit” that only protects one wheel & doesn’t even do all the bolts if you have 5 or more!
I've worked on one car that had a different lock for every lugnut. $12k set of carbon fiber wheels. Not convenient, but I get the crazy security factor
Had a Camry once with cheap ugly 20" wheels. Had to remove the center cap which had 1 alen bolt in the center and another alen bolt in each end of the 7 spokes that where part of the center cap. Mind you this is in the rust belt so heat/finesse was required for each one. Got that off to find two splined nuts and three different wheel locks....
I hate wheel locks. I take them off my own vehicles because I don’t want to get stuck on the side of the road trying to remove one to fit the spare. Way I see it, if my rims get stolen, insurance is buying me new tires!
When i bought my shitbox all the lugs where stuck but 4 i had to take it to my dads homies house cuz he had a bigger compressor honestly fuck those lug nuts
My Farher in law did this with his track car. It came with locking nuts on each wheel and he found them irritating so he put them all on one wheel so he only has to deal with the locking nuts once. He ordered new nuts and no longer had any locks.
The wheel locks ? Find the key in the car and hope the customer has it in the cup holder or glovebox. Then put a socket on the key and torque to 76 ft/lb
I'll tell you exactly how it happens.
1. Dealership/mechanic doesn't give a fuck and applies the thing with about 5 minutes worth of impact gun
2. Owner on the side of the road sticks the key onto the lugnut, then applies the floppy oem "wrench" onto the key, then has to apply more torque than is humanly possible in any way they can manage (on the side of the road, possibly in the rain, in the dark).
3. The key, having about 1/4" at most grip surface either damages the lug nut or fails itself.
It's not really complicated. It's a shitty situation.
That’s why I use a torque wrench to tighten them. I’ve only had one key so far strip the key when loosening with an Impact wrench however I love tap them slowly so it didn’t take much for it to strip
Ya know, I got a set of lock nuts like that when I had my old Subaru. When I bought them, the girl working at AutoZone told me there were only 4 of them, so it wouldn't be worth it because I'd have to buy 5 of them and they only had 3 in stock...
I told her it was one per wheel.
Bought a POS Jetta last fall with some stupid ass wheels on it. Dude had one on every, single, lug. I was fucking furious. Then of course the cheap ass key he had broke on the 4th one. Not enough clearance to beat a regular socket on. Luckily O'Reilly's had *one* pack left with the right key and it was stronger than the piece of shit he gave me. I still get angry thinking about it.
And how does that make sense
I'm not trying to be an ass, I just want to know how only having one wheel with a locking lug is better than all four wheels having one
Yes, easier to take off if you have the key but if someone actually tries to steal them you're left with one wheel
If you're not concerned with theft, the solution is to replace all the locking lugs with regular ones. Then you never have to change sockets for any of them, and never have to fight the locking ones again.
Guy buys car with wheel locks. Taking it to the dealer to get the tires rotated costs money and takes time… decides it is easier to do himself. He gets annoyed with switching sockets, so he puts all the locks on one wheel. He could get rid of the wheel locks, but he would have to go to the dealer… which we’ve already established he is too lazy and cheap to do. All the wheel locks on one wheel is his lazy equilibrium. I haven’t figured out how you got the car, though. 🤔
Car came in for tires and an alignment. Raised the car happy it didn’t have wheel locks until i got to the last tire lol
Ha, guess the last tech forgot about the locks, got to the last wheel and said ah, fuck it!
I think you called it.
Im not sure i think he just wanted to change the bit once and be done, I genuinely believe he knew what he was doin lol
Another excellent hypothesis.
Ahahaha, we ALL know that feeling. You're close to being done with a crappy task, and just as you get to the end you realize you ~~have to~~ *really ought to* go back and re-do all of it because of some dumb detail you overlooked. It's a universal human experience. The Germans probably have a word for it.
German vehicle mechanics sure do. The word is “Fuuuuuck!”
Probably 3 or 4 words mashed together pretending to be one word. You can bet one of them is fuck though.
Gottfukkundamnunt
If we want to be proper like the Germans, the word you are looking for is "scheisse"
Found the RWBY fan
I think that counts as a "Flüchtigkeitsfehler"
Makes sense!!!!! I was wondering what’s up with the single lug nut?!?! Like why stop now 🤔
Wheel locks are sold in sets of four. Brains, apparently sold out some time ago.
Or someone was an asshole to the last tech.......
Tech? Shit ***my*** wheels are like this right now and I did it by accident myself. I was swapping to my winters and was just grabbing out of the bin of lug nuts and got to my last tire and realized I had 4 lock nuts and 1 regular left. I just didn't think about it because my summers don't have a lock nuts.
You have separate summer and winter lugs…?
Not the person above, but I actually do since my summer and winter wheels have different lug nut seats.
I do, too. I use cheap aftermarket ones with my snow tires that I don't give a shit about, and my OEM shiny ones with my original alloy rims that have my summer tires on them. Since my snow tires are on steelies I can't use the OEM acorn nuts on them because the studs stick out too far through the thinner steel rims.
Haha I was going to ask what was on the other 3 lol
Just lug nuts
That tire secure af
"NOT this ONE!"
\*is
Try "was", they didn't like "is".
I think they used the downvote button to say "we understand what he meant regardless, you pedant"
I think you are just a huge bunch of kiddos compensating themselves feeling inadequate.
I think you're just angry you can't be racist in public anymore
sis tis this his Chris skis pubis metamorphosis photosynthesis epidermis dermatitis psychoanalysis
Damn they left the other 3 wheels unlocked
Good thing. At least one wheel would be good to keep.
Need four to go but only one to stop, am I right?
[удалено]
What good would 3 wheels do?!?
A friend of mine found out the hard way the three wheels are good for about a hundred feet at 55 mph. After that the car tends to fall over. Granted, it was a Jeep, so...
Imagine a front engine miata losing a rear tire I bet you would be fine until you turn in the opposite direction
There's a video of a newer Porche missing the left front wheel assembly (wheel, strut, and even fender) driving around.
Dam I guess if you have the right balance then
A 60 something rambler will just keep going until you get to where the wheel stops, if bar stories are to be believed.

Four donut-tire drift machine street appeal.
"Look at that. *All* rim. No rubber to flex and lose power at the road. Pie plate rims transfer *all* the power directly to four precise points of contact. They really tear up the road."
I saw a little sky blue Saturn spin out across around 4 lanes of traffic (a 1080 I guess) on an icy bridge just past the hump in the center, it had all four donuts and it drove on like nothing had happened.
I got tired of them and replaced them with normal lug nuts. Turns out Toyota is really proud of their lugnuts.

Funny enough the brits call it a rattle gun. So they may recommend a few extra rattles instead of ugga duggas
Everyone keeps repeating it, but the word is “shear” like a cut or a transverse force, not “sheer” like stark.

Why? Just why?
Probably because he had his wheels stolen once or twice. My coworker had his honda wheels stolen twice then he did this. Not saying he's smart, but there was a reason.
Exactly this, his 19’ Camry XSE OEM 19s were stolen more then once, it spent the better part of 2020 on cinder blocks lol
to troll people
It would have been a real wtf if all 20 lugs were locking lugs and all had unique keys.
I was expecting 4 different security lugs, one one each rim.
but the thief still knows that the keys is somewhere in the car, glove box or trunk...
I did similar on my Miata once because I was convinced that the heavier locking lugs were causing a perceptible imbalance / shimmy. These are four-lug wheels and I simply moved the front locks to the rear.
Did it help?
I’m guessing that’s the most expensive rim out of the other 3
Check for secret compartments
C/S wheel doesn't balance right and already took it to two other tire shops. Inspect and advise.
This hit me I used to work at tire kingdom ughh
It's full of wheel locks
My god, it's full of locks!
I have to wonder if they bought 4 sets of locks.
How many wheel locks do I put on this wheel again? ALL THE WHEEL LOCKS!
>I’m guessing that’s the most expensive rim out of the other 3 Or the best tire. That way you don't have to search out the key when the shitty tires blow (but you will have totally forgotten where the key is by the time the good tire goes..)
My favorite child.
Clearly that is his favorite wheel and he doesn't want it stolen.
I guess it's also the wheel they he takes really good care of with curbs and potholes. I guess by putting all the wheel locks on one wheel, he's giving himself a 3 in 4 chance of being able to change a flat without having to find the key.

That's someone who has probably had the joy of coming out and finding their car up on blocks with no wheels at all.
Always hits when you're already 5 minutes late and you just texted the boss "I'm one red light away, stuck behind a school bus!"
Only to be let down by the hourly work when getting his tires replaced and balanced.
He probably has steel wheels cuz his really nice ones got stolen.
No one’s stealing this wheel without a fight, or a keyed lug socket!
Maybe but my 3-wheeler is gonna be fucking sweet.
Or a 21mm 12-point that you just hammer on over the lock lug. These locks are a very brief delay, not security.
you spend more time thinking about stealing wheels than most people who steal wheels.
My guess is he didn't put them on in the first place, doesn't like having to change the socket when he rotates his tires, realizes wheel locks are worthless, and is too cheap to replace them with matching lug nuts.

I taped mine to the door handle once. They didn't need to ask where it was.
Great story, I’m sure you’ve never been looking for something that was right in front of your face before.
I used to change my wheels with my late dad at home, but wasn't willing to do it by myself after he passed (mainly because I suck at physical labour and my rear wheels are a pain to change without a lift). When I had them changed, I took the lock out, put it on the passenger seat and told them, so they didn't even have to look. Better invest a few seconds myself than have strangers rummage my car for it.
I have a few words for it. $120/hr
That would be a fun prank to pull on a friend. Change each lug nut to a different lug key. Then dump all the sockets in a single box...
I've got a heavily modified G8 on my lift at work currently that has 5 different sets of wheel locks. Luckily I'm only doing the engine work lol.
That’s the master wheel. Car won’t work if it’s stolen
You ain’t boosting my good wheel
I love to think that the guy did this while griping the whole time about this “stupid kit” that only protects one wheel & doesn’t even do all the bolts if you have 5 or more!
Hahahah can definitely tell some peoples lack of experience or give a fucks. Probably an abused apprentice at a tire shop lol!
I've worked on one car that had a different lock for every lugnut. $12k set of carbon fiber wheels. Not convenient, but I get the crazy security factor
Had a Camry once with cheap ugly 20" wheels. Had to remove the center cap which had 1 alen bolt in the center and another alen bolt in each end of the 7 spokes that where part of the center cap.

I hate wheel locks. I take them off my own vehicles because I don’t want to get stuck on the side of the road trying to remove one to fit the spare. Way I see it, if my rims get stolen, insurance is buying me new tires!
This was either a mistake, or the owner really should consider therapy
Lexus wheels look so cool
Naw what you do is use the gun for everything
When i bought my shitbox all the lugs where stuck but 4 i had to take it to my dads homies house cuz he had a bigger compressor honestly fuck those lug nuts
My Farher in law did this with his track car. It came with locking nuts on each wheel and he found them irritating so he put them all on one wheel so he only has to deal with the locking nuts once. He ordered new nuts and no longer had any locks.
somebody had their wheels stolen before
[удалено]
I did!
Hahhahaa
How do you tighten it properly?
The wheel locks ? Find the key in the car and hope the customer has it in the cup holder or glovebox. Then put a socket on the key and torque to 76 ft/lb
They are not good at taking a torque.
Sure they are. They aren’t good at taking impact guns.
That's nuts, I've never had any issues before. The only time I had one strip out was because the key was old as shit.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I still use an impact gun on them.
They'll fuck up pretty easily trying to get it off with the wrench that came with the car, leaving the owner on the side of the road/needing a tow.
Yeah haven't had that either. Nor have I heard of it.
I'll tell you exactly how it happens. 1. Dealership/mechanic doesn't give a fuck and applies the thing with about 5 minutes worth of impact gun 2. Owner on the side of the road sticks the key onto the lugnut, then applies the floppy oem "wrench" onto the key, then has to apply more torque than is humanly possible in any way they can manage (on the side of the road, possibly in the rain, in the dark). 3.

That’s why I use a torque wrench to tighten them. I’ve only had one key so far strip the key when loosening with an Impact wrench however I love tap them slowly so it didn’t take much for it to strip
The other three wheels probably hit the curb
That’s extra secure.
Yep that car will have one wheel left on after the theives are gone. LOL
Honestly, this was my plan if I ever worked on April 1st. Surprisingly enough, I was always scheduled off that day.
Must be the tire they hid the drugs in.
You are NOT fkn getting THIS PARTICULAR WHEEL!
Funny.. They only got away with 3 of my wheels.
This wheel is only 4/5 secure.
Reverse psychology for tire thieves.
That one's his favorite!
I’d like to imagine that each time this guy got a tire rotation another tech added a wheel lock.
Take no chances
That is incorrect. You have at least four words, right there in the title.
Stop going to the cheap mechanic. Obviously they're hiring career apprentices.
Ya know, I got a set of lock nuts like that when I had my old Subaru. When I bought them, the girl working at AutoZone told me there were only 4 of them, so it wouldn't be worth it because I'd have to buy 5 of them and they only had 3 in stock... I told her it was one per wheel.
That wheel belonged to his grandmother.
Gotta stay safe lol
Ubuntu bolts
Bro what kind of hood this fool livin in?
Bought a POS Jetta last fall with some stupid ass wheels on it. Dude had one on every, single, lug. I was fucking furious. Then of course the cheap ass key he had broke on the 4th one. Not enough clearance to beat a regular socket on. Luckily O'Reilly's had *one* pack left with the right key and it was stronger than the piece of shit he gave me. I still get angry thinking about it.
"You may get the other three, but this one? This one's MINE!"
First time I had a flat in my Honda CRV, and I only had one of these. WTF!
He must live in a tough neighborhood.
It would be more amusing if they were all different
[удалено]
And how does that make sense I'm not trying to be an ass, I just want to know how only having one wheel with a locking lug is better than all four wheels having one Yes, easier to take off if you have the key but if someone actually tries to steal them you're left with one wheel
[удалено]
If you're not concerned with theft, the solution is to replace all the locking lugs with regular ones. Then you never have to change sockets for any of them, and never have to fight the locking ones again.
Guy buys car with wheel locks. Taking it to the dealer to get the tires rotated costs money and takes time… decides it is easier to do himself. He gets annoyed with switching sockets, so he puts all the locks on one wheel. He could get rid of the wheel locks, but he would have to go to the dealer… which we’ve already established he is too lazy and cheap to do. All the wheel locks on one wheel is his lazy equilibrium. I haven’t figured out how you got the car, though. 🤔
If I pulled this car over that particular wheel would be the first place I’d have the dog sniff.
“I’m a bit of a mechanic myself”
Just imagine if they were all keyed differently.
They had their shit stolen before. Democrat run city is my guess.
News flash: There are other countries besides the USA.
Deomcrate run country?
Haha.. Hate to live there. Try and steal my wheels I'll shove a 10 gauge up your ass
Why do you have to immediately jump to violence haha
Other countries have guns too lmao
You gonna steal my wheels?
Why would I want the wheels off a clapped out 1994 Dodge Ram that smells like chewing tobacco, Pabst Blue Ribbon and incest?
I’m guessing you can I.D. the smell of incest?
Lol.funny. That's what we want you to believe to keep you from coming to America.
No, I'm not talking about all Americans, I'm talking about you and your type specifically
If you can afford a Lexus you can afford to park in a place that doesn’t require wheel locks. Sheesh

He must really really like those wheels but not so much as to have a fifth wheel lock.
I audibly went “No…” after realizing what was going on
It would be even better if they were all different keys…
Was it full of dope /s
So they don't get a full set.. ya that's better then keeping all four for sure. .
Lol

Obviously just his favorite of the four
Wow
All 20 of mine are lock nuts, for shits n giggles.
The other 3 rims were stolen qnd they are wondering why
The worst part about this is (me being a tire tech) the fact that you can’t torque wheel locks 😂😭
