I have a set of McGard locks, used them for years, they work very well, better looking than the factory lug nuts.
I simply can’t understand anyone NOT using them. If you’re unfortunate to be chosen by skilled thieves, they could have all 4 wheels off and gone in a matter of a couple minutes and you’d be out several thousand $ to replace them.
And Chevy’s website does offer locking lugs in the accessories section but you can get them much less expensively at Amazon.com. Don

I was about to order a set # 71633N and found out they don't fit? Have you installed your "New Nuts" yet?
