Default Gorilla wheel locks

i had a set cut off as i lost the key, then found it... i bought wheel locks from GM 29 bucks and look like they are made of tin. I would like to purchase a set of gorilla wheel locks for stock C5 but dont know the part number for them, also would like to order a lock system (5 locks per wheel) i think its aobut 60 bucks but dont know that part number either. any help please.

Call or visit your local DISCOUNT TIRE store. They have them in stock. That's where I've always bought mine for every car I own. A set of four is less than $20.00. If they don't have the 20 lock set, they'll order them. You can also get them from SUMMIT RACING.

I just bought my GORILLA locks from DISCOUNT TIRE, same state as you. Check around with other DISCOUNT TIRE stores, or try SUMMIT RACING. They'll come out of NV so you'll have them in 2-3 days.
Here's the SUMMIT RACING part #GOR-21133HT, they're $25.39 for a set of 20, in stock, ship today, 12mmx1.5rh, chrome with one key socket (order a second socket, save the decal with the socket #). They're steel, 60 degree conical seat style, confirm your oem wheels accept that design. My oem '04 Z06/Z16 wheels used the same ones. They use a 19mm socket or the equivalent SAE socket for removal. They're torqued to 100# just like oem.
Here's an image...
