Go with McGard.
Gorilla Lug Nuts can be easily taken off with the Gator Grip Socket.
My son used it all the time as a body shop tech when owners forgot to leave their Gorilla Key Socket.

I have used McGard for years, always had good luck. Of course I can't know how many thefts they prevented, but they never rusted and always came off OK. Tried Dorman on the C7, went to take them off to install the rotor cooling rings, and the key broke. Luckily I had a spare key. Bought McGards.
Someone asked me why the C7 came w/o wheel locks but my wife's Escape had them. I think it is to prevent wheel theft when the car is parked in the dealer's lot. Since Vette's don't sit outside at the dealer, locks are not needed.

I bought the McGard wheel locks for my 2006 C6, then transferred them to my '08, '10, and now my C7. I agree that a skilled thief can overcome the locks easily, but it just makes me feel better having them on, plus, I am very careful where I park my Vettes.
