McGard SplineDrives are the best I've ever seen. $70 or so at Summit.

Hold it... It's not that easy! What kind of wheels are you running? Makes a BIG difference. If you use the wrong TYPE of wheel locks it'll fu*k your rims up...

Hrm... not sure about Rota's. Maybe someone else can fill us in here...

The problem is: different wheels require different types of lug nuts. For instance, OEM steelies use a regular 'cone seat' style lug nut. This is the style you find most often at Pep Boys and so forth. On the other hand, OEM alloys, which are made by Enkei, require a special 'tapered cone seat' style lug nut. If you install regular 'cone seat' style wheel locks on OEM alloys, it will 'hog out' the hole and ruin your wheels.

Rotas, for all I know, require 'shank style' lug nuts, which are different breed of animal.

Get the idea?

Unfortunately, you'll have to do a little research to find the 'best wheel lock' for your ride.
