Default Locking lug nuts

Asked my dealer and they have the standard, ugly locking wheel nuts that are on my wifes Buick!. Anyone make a better looking unit that will work on our cars?

Don't bother, if they want your wheels, they will take them. Locking lugs really are not a theft deterrent, it's just a false sense of security.

Here is what I did the night I bought the car and had to park it at my wives apartment in Atlanta. I did order some gorilla locks also.
