Can somebody recommend some good wheel locks?

I need some wheel locks, but I don't have a clue about them. Are the Nissan locks good? Does Nismo make some?

Thanks G35Drivers.

wheel locks only defer your average 17 yr old neighbor hood-rat from jacking your rims...if someone wants your rims, wheel locks don't do justice...plenty of people have their rim missing even WITH locks! I know it sucks. There are posts on here about it too...do a search. About what kind, i thought all G's came with OEM locks, no?

Wheel Locks

FYI: All wheels locks can be removed by a universal wheel lock key available at just about any dealership. I found out when a Ford Dealership removed my wheel locks during mods.

It might not stop theft, but it will make it a big longer and more of a hassle. Nothing can stop your s*it from being stolen, but if it slows down the process of getting the car or the wheels boosted, than I think it's worth it.

I like the Gorilla tuner lugs. Unique key that doesn't slip off the wheel lock so easily when torqueing like the McGards do:

They also look a whole lot better.

What about RAYS ENGINEERING lug nuts. The locks are slotted 7-sided and can only be removed by the key that will fit the slo and lug. http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...tegory_Code=L1

Those are nice looking, but man, $105 for lug nuts?

Also, they're made of aluminum, which for high speed running/braking, is not so great. Most track folks will recommend steel lug nuts.
