Default Best lock nut brand

What are the top brands for lock nuts? I know all lock nuts can easily be broken or keyed open, but what will stop the criminals from stealing my rims forthe longest time possible?

I had my locking lugnuts removed and replaced them with standard Ford lugnuts. Why? Cuz I lost my key at the track swapping out my DR's. I drove home 150 miles from the track on my DR's, and had my tire repair shop remove the lockers the next day. When I saw how easy it was to remove them, I drove to the stealership at bought four matching standard lugnuts.

Lockers will slow thieves down, but if they want your tires they WILL get them off.

my 2 cents...

Yup, I know all about that. People could either tow your car away, or just break into it steal the radio.
I just need something to slow the criminals down so that if I catch them I can call 911. It doesn't matter though insurance FTW.

I will just go to autozone ask them and then I will call ford and ask for their brand. Ford will have the universal key for their product so I may end up using theirs.

Nobrakes, just call up ford they will have quality products and if you ever lose the key from their set I believe each service Tech has a universal ford lock nut set key. Happy hunting
