Lee,
I ordered a set of Volk Racing GT-S's. They cost... a lot. Needless to say, i want some security too.

I just ordered a set of McGard SplineDrive to install them:



http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

- They use a special socket to remove (don't lose it)
- The kit also comes with a traditional mcgard wheel locks and tool (don't loose that either
- Quality, heavy duty construction (remember, your TL is a daily driver). i wasn't comfortable with the extended and open ended lugs. Extended are an invitation to steal, and open ended allow corrosion (but save weight, whoop te do)
- I ordered chrome, but they come in black chrome too

I looked at those too. He's buying them in bulk and "putting kit together. Not a bad option, but I wanted the real deal, with the registration cards. I have a tendency to loose these keys.

talk about crazy, but my friend bought 4 different lugnuts, (meaning 4 different keys) JUST to make sure it's super super hard to steal his wheels. (I would too if i had wheels that were $1400 a piece sitting on an M3).
