The The Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock with Lug Nut Protector Plate # WI491-491LNP, just like any other lock for any device, is more of a theft deterrent than a sure-fire way to keep someone from stealing your vehicle or getting at your wheels. Given enough time and the right equipment any lock can be beaten. Because of this (and to avoid would-be thieves from researching how much time they need) there are no "cut times" for the Club Tire Claw XL.

If you don't like the design of this wheel lock then I recommend taking a look at the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 which fits 12" - 20" size wheels. This has received great customer reviews and has thick metal pieces everywhere. For something that covers the lug nuts on your wheel you may consider the Wheel Club # WI490 instead.
