Nothing wrong with Muteki and Gorilla. Their basic spline drive nuts are not very stylish but are pretty affordable

Just make sure you get the right thread/pitch. M12 x 1.5. Then you can order anywhere online if you choose. If you want to make the wheels even slightly more difficult to steal, you can replace the entire set with the standard Gorilla lug nuts with locks. Depending on your parking situation, you may want to go even further. One could go with more than one set of locks, just don't lose your keys! I've also seen sets that come with a deep thin-wall socket and lug heads sized so that normal tools cant fit in the recesses to remove. This may be more dependant on the actual rim though.
