need wheel lock recommendations

Also, what look are you going for? Do you want just locks or a matching set of nuts and locks?
You can get the stock type locks which come from McGard. Gorilla has some hex socket ones that I've been thinking about getting myself. There are high end ones like the Volk Duralum that come with a "lock" nut.

You do realize that none of them *really* work? Anybody but a amatuer thief will be able to get them off pretty easily. You're really only hoping to slow them down
As I mentioned before, I've been looking at the tuner style nuts/locks from Gorilla. They're small so they work with my Volk wheels. Because they are "inside" drive, you don't have the risk of scratching the wheels around the lugs like you do with a normal socket style.

so many choices!
so what sizes do i need? I have nismo lmgt 18"
where can i find the volk wheel locks and lug nuts?
bull locks, how good are they. Like what davesZ said, none of them will deny theives but only slow them down.
sorry im very lost. I thought this would be a simple process of just buying some locks but i didnt know there are so much to consider, like shape and size, etc. Would be great it someone can help me out. Im just looking for wheel locks for under 50-100 bucks and lug nuts for 130 and under. Is there such thing as everything in one? Thanks!

for LMGT4's the best ones ive found are the mcgard wheel locks... that is if you want to spend the least amount...they come in black to match your other lugs...
if you want to spend more... any of these work...

Breaking the lock is not the problem. I broke the key on my OEM (McGard) locks. To remove it, we hammered a 3/4" socket over the locking lug nut then used an air wrench to unscrew it.

Jason,
Price aside what is the best quality wheel lock on the market that will match the black lug nuts on my LMGT4's? Thanks

personally I would stay away from Aluminum lugs/locks. They are much too soft and sooner or later will endup getting cross threaded or stripped. Wheels need to be torqued down to around 85 ft-lbs and steel is a much better option. Using an aluminum nut on a steel bolt is also not ideal as it could lead to galvanic corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. I use Mcgard lugs and locks, they are not too expensive and do the job.
