Good locking nuts with strong keys. Recommendations?

As it says, I've bought some! lol.

Not to stop the wheels getting nicked but it's a bit more hope in case of anyone being spiteful enough to losen all of your bolts. I know one may not make a massive difference but who knows ;)
 
There useful in they will stop any opportunist from easily nicking them, of course if someone wants your wheels there gonna get them regardless.
If you've spent 2k on a set of after-market, the extra pain brought on by using locking wheels nuts is little in the grand scheme of things!


i've got these

The length is a pain but cant question there durability! Compared to the Jag one i recently broke with minimum force, the difference in quality is night and day.

But you can guarantee that the locking wheel nut is inside the car. If they have gone through the effort of jacking the car up, smashing a window to get the locking wheel nut isn't going to stop them.
 
Can anyone recommend non-locking wheel nuts? Just standard ones.

The one's on the ST have nasty caps which keep getting caught in the sockets, I've lost one cap already.

Cheers

I can remove a set of wheels with minimal noise.

Smashing a car window and having the alarm go off... Slightly different situation...

In addition, i bet lots of people steal wheels for the tyres, in many cases they will be worth more than the wheels.
