Recommendations on lug nuts

So after getting my new rims im looking for some lug nuts....what do you guys recommend security wise.

Is it even worth buying a locking set?

What do you guys think of these ones ( http://cgi.ebay.ca/20-BLACK-12X1-5-S...item3ef9af59bd )

I would recommend, works, rays, project kics. But if your on a budget, T1R, mutiki are really good too.

i use Rays, i love it coz the lock lug and normal lug look the same! but the lock lug has abit of angle twist to it so that a normal socket won't fit in it.

Dont bother with security too much. If someone wants your wheels, they are going to get it. Trust me. Go for the style that best suits you.

My two cents

A nice set of nuts would cost much but a knock-off brand will fade in or color or chip off.. Just keep that in mind.

not true bro...

real rays red turns pink and blues fade to a lighter blue same with work RS lugs

it happens to all coloured lugs regardless of make.

i've had several types of security locks. the best was actually the factory one. all others i could use a gatorgrip socket on. it wont grab on inside cut locks like the factory ones... but that one you can take a cheap 11/16s socket and tap it on with a hammer and take it right off...
