I've been researching this recently. The options I've found so far are:

• Gorillas
• Mcgard (both locking and just plain lugs)
• White Knight
• DP Accessories
• Circuit Performance
• Moroso

It's hard to tell the exact quality of each. Some reviews/tests suggest that of them all Mcgards actually lasts the longest against corrosion. However, that's for the chrome ones. I haven't seen any comparisons for black colored lugs of which there's several kinds:

• PVD chrome (mcgard's uses this, supposedly most rugged of the black coating options)
• electro plated chrome
• black oxide
• anodized
• painted

I also haven't seen any of them actually mention what type of steel they use, which I'd think could be important.

I've read many mixed reviews about Gorillas including that they aren't so durable. But a lot of people seem to swear by them.

Spendy, but if you prefer to replace your wheels and tires, go ahead, I’ve got 2 sets on my car.

Advanced Locks – The Ultimate Wheel Lock!

Our patented design redefines the security fastener industry Other wheel locks do not provide true security. Any thief can easily purchase an after market tool specifically designed to remove them.

Very interesting, and compelling design.
Two questions though:

• what's to stop someone from drilling it and using an easy-out?
• is there any way to make them not ugly? having one cone out of 5 lug nuts doesn't come close to matching--do they have some sort of optional cap?

Does adanced wheel lock make any that fit tuner wheels? (usually need splined lug nuts)

Where/how do people store their wheel lock key?
Seems like just storing it in the glove box could be counter productive--any thief would be willing to break a window to search for the key there.

Also, hang on to your non-locking OEM lugs. The last thing you want to do is piss off your wheel guy when you bring your Hellcat in for new tires or brake work by making him unlock all twenty lugs. I swap out the locks with the OEM's the night before. No lost keys, no scuffed aftermarket lugs, one happy wheel guy.

Or better. I take my wheels off myself and just take the wheels to the tire shop. I simply don't trust minimum-wage tire jockeys to not scuff my wheels or to carefully torque them back on.

I ran them on my 08 Challenger for 11 years and on my 15 Hellcat for 7 years without any issues, so.....

Black or chrome? Ever touch them with an impact?

I have these.
