Locking lug nuts are GREAT!
Try McGard Spline Drive lug nuts- I've had them on my Integra for 5 years with no problems. They're very narrow and fit into many different lugnut wells (where stock lugnuts won't fit sometimes).
You can either get all 5 nuts in "spline drive" guise, or you can get one of them in a traditional key/lock setup. McGard claims they're perfectly weighted to match their spline drive nuts.
Good luck.

I have Gorilla locks. They have an outside key and also are the same height and look of the stock lugs.

when lost the key the guy at the garage used a wedge thing but a ding in the edge so that it would grab and hammer the end of the wedge thingy to remove it.
i was thihnking the same thing that locks were worthless
i also saw at an autoshop that they sold a socket that removes wheel locks. you have to use an impact gun but it removes them all. i'd figure anyone really interested in stealing would get one of those.

When I bought my S it had locking lugs on it but there was no key for it so I took it back to the used car lot where I bought it. The guy had a little tool set for removing locking lugs. With a hammer, a wrench and that tool set it took him about a minute to remove all the locking lugs. The tool set was not expensive either. So in my opinion locking lugs are pretty useless. Its just a pain in the ass for the owner.
Its not about theft prevention (if they really want it, they'll get it)...it is about theft deterrent...You want them to look at someone elses car instead of yours!
Knowing Pete, if his torque wrench is out/off...it is not off by much!

I used Gorilla lugs on my Talon for a few years with very good luck. I had the open-ended hex kind (if that makes any sense). The key/tool was used to remove all 20 of them. They were cheap too, like $36 from Summit.
