I think its the acorn style but not too sure.

I'm bad . . I don;t have any locks . . . yet.

I do not like the McCard lock, since it's friggin ugly. GORRILLA is supposed to make a nice lock

Not sure since I'm not a Fikse owner, but I can say that Gorilla locking lugs are very nice. Dont think I'll ever go with anything else.

Gorilla's on my FM5's! Ended up getting some locking open-ended ones for my rear since I have longer studs on the 12 bolt. Would prefer deeper closed ended but no body makes them.

With all due respect, mine wheels were ripped off with locking nuts. Not trying to bash or anything, but a close sized socket hammered on will remove a locking nut. Then again, anything is better than nothing.

I also did this at work. Not paying attention took off a locking lug with a 6 point impact socket. The socket went on the locking lug just fine without hammering... but when I pulled the trigger on the impact it wedged itself and off came the locking lug.... that was fun getting it out of the socket.
