I would go for the
They saved my 22s several times on my old 06 Charger... How'd I know?
I would walk out to my car and notice that my center caps were laying on the ground or were unscrewed almost all the way out... But the wheels were never stolen when I had the gorilla locks installed.
Then I sold the 22s and got some chrome clad 20s and used a normal lock kit for them thinking that they wouldn't be as hot an item... Stolen in two weeks...

The Gorilla Locks System. I use them on all my cars. You get a lock for each lug for less than $50 on Amazon. The part number is 71643N.

Another vote for the System by Gorilla, I use it on my summer set.
I guess I hope folks don't steal my winter set and it has worked out so far...

Another plus on the Gorilla system not only is each one a lock they are also uniform. You don't have the single lock that looks different.
Anyone running stock lug nuts needs to replace them regardless of if they want locks (stock nuts are two piece and eventually fail) and anyone looking for locks the gorilla system is great for $45 bucks.

so if they look something like this
I have heard that these type tend to rust in the little nooks for the locks. I had an interesting experience with a similar type of locking nut on my Pathfinder. I didn't have the key for that lug nut- found out the hard way and got stuck with a flat. Had it towed to two tire shops that were unable to get the nut off, including a Nissan dealer. I ended up taking a larger socket, a mallet and a breaker bar and easily defeated it in about 5 minutes. I'm sure every system has a flaw, just my experience with this particular style / type.

Gorilla lock number is 61148CX (black ones are BX)
I bought 16 of the 96641C nuts and four of the above locks. The nuts are a bit wider than the other 60 degree acorn nuts, and are the ones Gorilla recommends for our wheels. (they are a little long, but I like them like that).
I've had the McGard type locks before, but the key always seemed to strip out too easily, and the slots in the nuts got all buggered up--the Gorilla locks are much better.

My stock nuts were starting to get too mangled and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get them off may more times, so I got the Gorilla nuts/locks.

When purchasing the Gorilla locks for a 2013 R/T do I have to order through telephone or e-mail or are there other vendors who sell Gorilla locks.
