Default Locking lug nuts

Where is a good place to get some? Or should I try and go through the dealership?

correct me if I'm wrong but spline drives are not really locking lug nuts. Both sets that I had (gorilla and pro comps spline drive) use the same spline drive socket. Spline drives are meant more for a wheel which has restricted space that a standard socket won't fit into.

Not sure what you mean. The set I have has 23 spline lugs, but 5 of those are specifically keyed to my spline drive. So the spline drive that my buddy has works on 18 of the lugs, but not the 5 "lock" lugs. I've not seen this set sold by any other company, my buddy bought a Gorilla spline set from 4wheelparts, thinking it would be the same as mine, but all 23 of his lugs are generic spline lugs, and my spline drive works with all of his lugs.
