i would get a key style (not a over the lug, in the lug head) with a sliding ring around it. I've had to remove those without a key, takes forever! The factory ones without the sliding ring can be popped off pretty easily.

I use the factory locks. If someone wants to go through the effort to remove wheel locks, they will defeat whatever you have on. Locks only keep out honest people.

Had Gorillas and didn't like them. They were slightly larger than the stock lugs, making the various tire tools I have useless. They were just large enough that most of my tool that fit the nut wouldn't not fit into the hole for the nut on my particular rims. So, went back to the Mopar locks I had before picking up the fancy wheels.

I have the Gorilla "system" locks and love them.
I bought the set for 6-lug wheels so I would have enough for the spare.
Black, of course.
I bought them at my local Discount Tire and they installed them during a tire rotation.

If they want your rims bad enough nothing going to stop them, i only lock my spare because it came with a lock from the dealer and because they dont have to jack up the truck to steal a spare so hopefully a lock will slow them down a little or stop them idk

Ever have to change a tire on the trail only to find you either don't have / misplaced or lost the key to the locks???!!!!!??? makes for a real tough job when you're far away from anywhere, and only have a limited supply of tools!!!!!
Never see mine with locks on again!!!!!!!!
If somebody wants them, they will get them, with or without locks!!!,,,,,,I figure that's why I pay for insurance......

no locks for me. Had nothing but issues with the McGuard locks. Had to cut off 2 and torch one off -could not imagine being stuck on the trail with locks seized on.. A padlock through the spare. Besides, that is what insurance is for
