I got Gorilla Chrome Lugs at Big-O Tire down the street for me. It was $18 for a set (all four rims) I believe and it came with wheel locks ;)

I've tried McGuard. :nonod: Looked like something from a happy meal, & the key sucked. They had to go. :nono:
I've been using Gorilla locking lugnuts for 7 years now. They still look great, & they work very well, with a good key style. Every lug is a lock (40 total), the set usually runs about $40. I own 5 sets, each car has them, & each key is different. Can't recommend them highly enough. :yesnod:
I got them through discount tire, but most tire shops should be able to get them. :yesnod:
I'm suprised I've never seen a C/F vendor run an ad post for these. :confused:

Got mine from Jake Delaney at Corvette Concepts. Maybe 30 or 40 dollars. I don't have a lock because I don't think it is necessary for the driving I do.

Go to discount Auto.. They sell Gorilla Nuts.. :D part number 71137. They come in packs of 4 for $4.99
Don't make the same mistake I did.. I bought 4 packs.... DOH! I had to run back the next dayt and get another. :D
Look way better than the plastic covers. I even had the chrome ones..looked too fat..
Btw...screw the locking nuts..I went plain all the way around. Unless you park your car in the ghetto why worry..
