Lightbulb Unique Wheel Locks by KICS Japan for your Mercedes C63 AMG in Black

You keep hearing about the wheels being stolen off people's cars all over the country. You can get a set of locks for the car but your average thief can take them off very easily with the simplest tools. We offer a stylish solution for your car.



KICS brand is developed and manufactured in Japan. Due to the unique design of Re-Guard locking bolts, they would puzzle any thief who comes across your shiny MB. We have this hardware in satin black. The kit consists of 4 locks and 16 bolts. It fits your OEM wheels or the aftermarket wheels that are made to fit your OEM Mercedes hardware.







PM for pricing as per the forum rules, I can not post it in this thread.

amg4rl, please email me the serial number or order number of your wheels, and I can verify if your lug should be conical or ball seat. I believe they should be conical, you could probably check yourself with putting a finger in the lug hole.

Lon,

Where do you find the serial number? Is it on the back pad?

PM's are out. Check with your wheel manufacturer whether you have the wheels manufactured to accept the OEM Mercedes hardware with ball seat lug bolt or aftermarket conical seat lug bolt.

Peter, can you please briefly talk about how these are better than the regular wheel lock? I can't understand japanese. Also, can you pm me price for a set that works with stock wheels?

Thanks

You have to call ADV1 and find out whether your wheels are made for conical seat bolts or ball seat bolts. If they accept the ball seat bolts (OEM style mounting hardware) then my locks would work with no issues. You have a PM

Yes. These are designed to work on the stock wheels.

Firstly, because the bolts are from Japan, there are no keys widely available for them. Most thiefs have a collection of locks for your standard locks that are sold in the tire stores. Secondly, you can't grab onto the top of the lock and take it out because the protection ring freely rotates around the bolt. Lastly, the area between the lock pattern and the protection ring is too narrow. you can't just hammer a socket in there and unbolt the lock. there is simply not enough space.

John,

they will not. Your forgestars only accept the cone seat bolts. I can order something like this for you but it will take 3 month.

Take out one of the bolts, snap a picture of it and forward it to peter(at)acgsandiego.com. I will let you know if they would work.
