What wheel locks are you using?

I will be ordering my wheels in the next 30 days, and would like to know what other people are using as far as wheel/lug nut protection. Any particular brand of lock that is good or bad? What experiences have people had? Any insight would be great. Thanks.

gorilla locks are good. we use them at the shop i work at. you can also use tuner lugs which requires a key that fits into the lug. what kind of wheels?

Gorilla, but there are easy to remove.
In fact, almost any of the key'd type locks can be easily removed if you know the trick.
I saw these cool locks from Japan that required a (magnet) key to remove caps to expose the lug nut underneath.  With the cap in place, it free-spins.

Sparco Racing NT-R Bronze 17x9. My car is only outside if I am visiting someone out of town or on a trip with it, but I just want the added protection considering how much the combo is costing.

McGard SplineDrive. Unlike most lug locks, you can torque these down hard. And BTW, I had the Gorillas, but they got rusty in a few months.
