Isaac Adams: This is a great product for vehicles that have conical lug nuts, but that's unfortunately not the kind of lug nuts that Toyotas have (at least not Prius). I have no doubt this is a great product, and it can be mounted on a Prius wheel, but if you have a prius, you want this product from the same manufacturer:

Andrew Schmidt: Locking lugs are mostly a feel-good measure for owners, but I think these really do have a good design.
1. The outer sleeve rotates freely. This eliminates the most popular method of circumventing wheel locks, which is banging a slightly oversized socket over the entire nut and loosening.
2. The valley between the sleeve where the key goes in is very narrow. I didn't use all four of these, so for fun I chucked up the extra in a vise and tried to get a socket smashed in between the sleeve and keyed section. No dice, the sockets I had were too thick and the metal of the lock is very hard to deform out of the way. I suspect with a really thin 12pt and a 3lb sledge someone would be able to get engagement eventually, but they'd be making a ton of noise.
3. The key is unique- the sticker included has your key pattern serial in case you lose it, and the keyed section lobes do appear to be decently random. Some other kits have a sort of universal pattern that a potential thief could obtain a master key for.
Overall, I think if you want to spend the money on wheel locks, these are the ones most likely to dissuade someone who knows what they're doing. I'm sure there's...

OVillanueva: As a car owner who is serious about protection, I installed the Gorilla Automotive Acorn Gorilla Guard Locks on my vehicle's wheels. After using them for several months, I'm impressed with the durability and security these lug nut locks provide.
The thick steel construction shows no signs of wear, cracks, or damage even when scraping on curbs. The protective coating resists scratches extremely well. These locks are clearly built to withstand road abuse.
Installing them is straightforward with the socket tool provided. Their shape allows them to thread smoothly onto the lug nuts without issue. Removing them with the key to change a tire takes just a few minutes.
The full nut cover design is robust. There are no gaps allowing access to the actual lug nut, only the key can remove them. This gives me peace of mind that my wheels are properly secured.
While bulky looking, that is a small trade-off. These Gorilla Guard locks deliver on heavy-duty construction and provide unrelenting protection for your lug nuts.
For any auto owner seeking an extra layer of security for their wheels, I'm impressed with the durability and strength these Gorilla lug nut...

Raz: So far, so good. Had them installed on my new car for 3 months now and they look great.
They definitely have a superior chrome plating that wont chip or scratch. That was my biggest concern.
Don’t use an impact gun on them and torque to specifications and they should look new for a long time.

SirGeorge: I have a RAV4 Toyota with the spare on the rear door. During the winter, the fancy cover stays on, and can't be removed quickly! In the summer, I remove the cover, having only the 3 lug nuts to hold it on, making it easy prey. I wanted a lug-type lock for security, and these Gorilla Acorn Guards were very reasonably priced. I only needed one right away, staying close to home most of the time. On a longer trip I could put the other 3 on 3 road tires, which means only one tire could be stolen, but (ahem), I also have the spare tire locked securely on. So I won't be stuck in the boonies one wheel short! The Gorilla Guards are chromed, good looking and very easy to install.

Cliente de Amazon: Facil de poner, difícil de quitar. Viví en un lugar de México donde el robo de autopartes, en especial llantas, era extremadamente alto. Nunca perdí una 👍🏻.

Pedro Miranda: compre unos llamados White Knight antes de estos, son una basura, no los compren, se barrio todo el birlo junto con el candado, muy muy mala calidad y diseño, en cambio estos, están muy bien diseñados y quedaron muy bien, me gustaría hicieran una version mas chaparra de estos porque en los rines de un-Toyota Camry 2016 sobresalen un pelín y arruinan un poco la estética, fuera de ahi están muy bien hechos y diseñados.
