Who got rid of their locking lugs

[rem503]

I'm thinking about getting rid of the locking bolts too but what I would really love to do is replace the electronic ignition switch and door locks so I could use a simple house key. It's ridiculous to have to spend so much on a new key.

I'm irritated by these electronic safety measures that cause the owners more costs and problems than the thieves. We love these terrific cars but in reality the older ones (like mine) aren't all that valuable.

I'm turning into a miserable old dude more every day. lol.

Got rid of my locking nuts on all my porsches after a flat on a trip and no socket for the locking nuts. I normally do not drive in places to worry about theft and anyway I have insurance so I don't need the hassel of keeping up with another tool for each car.

Replaced all 20 with wheel studs
Wheel changes are much faster, and no worries about dropping the wheel on the brake calipers.

Got rid of mine last spring. Now I have to paint the other 16 to match.

One of the first things I did was get rid of those things. I've got OEM wheels and no one out there wants them -- thank goodness.
