If you need some real fast your best bet would probrably be to second day some from summit or jeg's. I liked my Gorilla locking lugs, I think they where $40-50.

Actually not so Concerned about the locking portion... They need to be chrome - and if im going to pay money for regular ones id might as well just pay a little more to get locks...

I can wait to mount these

I've had the chrome 20 locking Gorilla lug nuts on all 3 of my LS1 cars. If they're gonna steal my wheels, dammit they're gonna have to work to get them.
