Default best wheel locks??

I currently have a sc430 with stock 18"s with factory wheel locks...
I was looking to upgrade to 19s and was wondering what was the best set of locks out there for the most security against someone simply hammering a wrench over a lock and disabling it in 10 mins..

I have these McGard's for years and I never had any problems with them.
Mine came with a separate wheel lock (which isn't shown in the pic).
Mines all black BTW.

You really have only two options - Gorillas and McGards.

If you'd like more information just do a search under 'wheel locks'.

I'm sure the query will pull up quite a few threads

well in most cases you can't use the stock lug nuts / locks on aftermarket wheels. they are different types

I think the stock ones are gorilla style arent they? they have the pattern on top of the bolt. anyways these lugs are too long for after market wheels and you need to get the short stuf version of them.
