Default Locking Lug Nuts

Hello all!

I am looking for some locking lug nuts for my saleen magnesium speedline rims.

The regular lug nuts I have today looks like this:





It seems very hard to find locking lug nuts with that extended tip. Any store which could have them? Any links would be good.

The rims are on a 2000 year mustang GT.

are locking nuts really that effective in preventing theft? I mean, anyone can get their hands on the keys

and if someone really wants your stereo flashing lights, and a little noise isn't going to stop them. They're all just deterrents. It will slow down someone who is really determined, or make them think twice about bothering with it.

they are most effective when you park next to a car without locking lug nuts.

"they took 1,000 dollar rims off his 240sx." -that makes me so mad. stealing rims is so sh*tty, its not like they do anything for the cars performance but once you have em, you cant live without em so when they get stolen you have to drop a grand on something that you dont even need [:@]
