Default Kics Lug Nuts

I want to get good lug nuts that have locks. Is this a good brand:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tchlink:top:en.

Also, is that too expensive? Any cheaper alternatives?

ATM, I am using cheap lugs I bought off advanced auto.

That's actually inexpensive for kics lugs and I would be hesitant to buy them. I know that you have to be careful on ebay since there are kics knock-offs going around.

Maybe someone with kics can actually tell you if these are legit or not.

dude if someone wants your wheels bad enough there is no set of lug nuts that will stop them, with that said, get your self some muteki (steel) lug nuts and a set of locks. (aluminum lug nuts strip easily)
