I would suggest going with something polished or billet, with the chrome and putting so much pressure on them with the lug wrench mine started to flake after a while so if you can I would suggest going that way even if they are not quite as 'bling bling'

...or you could get the "Wheel Locks" from a dealer's Parts Dept.

Those don't typically fit aftermarket wheels.

Check McGard or Gorilla. They both make good locks that fit aftermarket wheels.

Just an FYI. I was in Pep Boys the other day and saw that they sell a product for removing "locking" lugs for when the "key had been lost". It's a universal application and costs like $10 and can be used with any 3/8" ratchet wrench. Anyway, I don't know how well they work, but I'm sure these tools are no secret to thieves since they are on display at Pep Boys.
