Volk GT-C lock help please

I finally received and installed my GT-C's but discount tire (aka E-wheelz) only shipped 16 lugs and failed to ship the Ray's locks because they were back-ordered. I am going to try to get them to atleast ship 4 more lugs but they definitely do not get in a hurry in the mean time I have am trying to find some locks that are compatible with GT-C's. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your local wheel/tire shop should be able to provide you some tuner lugs.

I haven't seen the lug holes on GT-Cs up close, but I think it should take any generic wheel locks for now. Your OEM Acura wheel locks should work for temporary use.

I used my OEM Acura locks for about 1 week, and I didn't see a problem. I now use a set of Gorilla locks.

If your OEM locks don't fit in the holes, you may want to visit a tire shop to get some tuner lugs.

That is also what I thought but I bought some tuner style locks from a local parts store and they would fit in the holes but were not tapered and would not reach the wheel stud. The lug holes on the GT-C's are extremely small and also tapered. The Ray's lugs are tuner style internal drive and taper very small about half way down the lug toward the stud. I will try to find a picture to post.

I found some gorilla locks I that will should work on ebay. If anyone else is interested they are the Gorilla E-T/Ultra Style. They are chrome and the Ray's lugs are black but they should serve the purpose until I can get the black Ray's locks.
Now after I get the center caps this week I will post some pics

Here is the link for the locks
