I use McGard 12x1.50. About $20 from Amazon, Chrome, but they match the wheels.

Caution with this, I also ordered them for my 2004 and found out the were not deep enough and did not tighten down on my stock rims.

The early C5's came with factory supplied wheel locks. Still have my original ('98) set somewhere.

Surprising that. The stock wheels are not super thin or anything. I've had McGards on a few vehicles and never seen that problem.
