Gorillas are good, McGard wheel locks are good as well.

I'm so done with wheel locks lol

after having to change a CV shaft with the truck teetering on a high lift from the tow hook and the tire still on the knuckle.. Because I had the gorilla lug nuts and the key split all the way up the side.

if someone wants your wheels, their gonna have the 1)correct lock key or 2)a tool to take it off one way or the other...
