Default Best Lug Nuts and Wheel Locks???

Who makes the best lug nuts and wheel locks? Gorilla? McGard?
What's the right thread size, etc. for the '99 GS?
Advice appreciated, thanks.

I got Gorillas....with the spinning sleeve.... to prevent anyone from hammering a socket over a regular lug lock.

I have gorillas. They came with the wheels from the previous owner. What wheels are you asking for? Not all lugs are the same in terms of size. Some aftermarket rims require a certain size to fit snugly.
