Default Wheel locks

Thinking about getting "The System" or Gorilla guard locks for my wheels.

Does anyone else have any experience with these?

What is the size I need to get or are they all standard?

Thanks..

I don't know about either of those setups but one thing to keep in mind is the clearance behind the center-caps. There isn't a tremendous amount of room in there.

I had a set of ??? wheel locks way back when and noticed one day when I was polishing the caps, that several of my caps had a very small half-ring of a dent pushed out on them in several places, finally realized that the edge of the lock-nuts was touching part way around (I think it was the outside edge) leaving the marks. And I just thumped them on by hand...
