Default 2008 Wheel locks
Where can I get four "locking" chrome lug nuts for my 2008 chrome wheels that look good with the original chrome lug nuts?

I wanted a little more detail for lug nuts/locks so I got a set of Gorilla Hex Sockets. All 5 look like Snap-On sockets and 1 is a lock. Comes with a numbered key/wrench. would look GOOD with chromies.

This is for a set of 4 locks. One per wheel. Think I am going to order a set.

Corvette Central has them for $39.95. Best to go with Gene at his price.
