OEM Rim wheel locks?

Hello,

I want to buy some wheel locks for my wheels, recently my cousins neighborhood had two cars robbed of they wheels. I brought some gorilla guard locks but apparently the acorn design is too wide for the OEM rims on my 2013 G37. What are some suggestions on wheel locks?

Your dealer should have the proper square-shoulder locks, don't think they're too much $$.

Don't know what square-shoulder locks are but i want something that is more difficult/time consuming to take off then those that can have a wrench jammed in and unscrewed. The Gorilla guard locks have a free spinning sleeve over the lock but it doesn't fit

LOL isn't that hilarious.

@Larry, i don't want to get OEM wheel locks, but thanks.

I still want to get the Gorilla Guards or something better. The McGard's can still be bashed in and unscrewed. Does anyone have Gorilla locks installed on their G37 OEM rims? I brought the 12x1.5 acorn one. Im wondering if the mag one would fit since it doesn't have the acorn rim on it.

I have Gorillas on mine, but these are on aftermarket wheels w/ tapered lug seats.
