Welcome to the forum! As others have said, wheel locks are way more trouble than they're worth. With that said, McGard is a reputable company. If they said these are what you needed for your car, they may be willing to replace them for free. Good luck! Also, post up a separate thread introducing yourself. I'd love to see pictures of your entire car.

I had a couple of "crowns" crack off lug nuts just from using an impact gun on them a long time ago. It was a customers car, so I don't know what brand they were, but they were chrome plated aftermarket. We looked real close to make sure the studs weren't bottoming out.

I didn't even know there were that many. I've got 4 sets of them on different cars in my life and I can use the keys interchangably. Even bought them all separately, various vendors, etc... maybe I just got lucky haha.

Gorilla keys are not keys. They're spline drive sockets. They just have a few different sizes to accommodate all the OEMs stud sizes.
If it were a key it would only go on one way which would be a mega pain in the ***.
