Default Wheel Locks

I just got some wheels and was wondering what type of Wheel Locks to get?

Are the xBs thread size pretty generic?

I know there are 2 types. One with the keyway on the outside and one in the center.
I did not want it to stick out like a sore thumb either. Anyone know of a type that blends in more with the stock type lugs?
Also where to get them..

Thanks

The ones by Gorilla have done me well for the last 5 years.

Key lock on the outside is much better then the center inset ones tend to strip out if you dont seat down right.

Default Scion Lugs

12×1.5 Lug nut, most likely conical seat on your wheels. (12 refers to 12mm diameter of the factory lug stud and 1.5 is the thread pitch)

Thanks Besk One..

I went to American Tire Co in San Pedro.
I picked up Gorilla Locks for $20

My stock xB lug removal bar does not fir the Gorilla key.
Luckily i thought about it before i left there.
I went back inside and bought a Gorilla Bar.
Its sweet. It telescopes and has a rubber grip. Only $20.

Also thanks Kendo for the post on lug size. It was 100% right...
