Default Locking Lugs

What are some good choices for locking lug nuts / where to get them (preferably not online). I was thinking McGard or Gorilla, but IDK if there is anywhere that sells them locally.

I've had 3 sets of the Gorilla 20 locking lugnut sets. No complaints here.

Both McGard and Gorilla make nice lugnuts. Between the two I like McGard better, but they will run you a little more $$. If you don't want to order them online for some reason, check your local auto parts stores or tire places because some can special order them for you (I've had both Pepboys and Discount Tire special order me McGards in the past).
