Talking Anti-Theft Lug Nuts any suggestions?

Well I have finally bought me some rims and now I need some anti-theft lug nuts for them. Anyone now of a good brand and a place to purchase them. I have a 98 4x4 and I would feel some what better knowing I had some wheels locks on my truck!

I have some awesome lugnuts, but I have been unable to find them anywhere, which sucks if I lose my lug adaptor. They are called "Socket Lugs" and they cannot be removed with a regular lug wrench without the adaptor. If anyone knows where I can buy these, let me know because I want another set.

FYI , Most anti-theft lug nuts can be removed by hammering on a 12 pt thin wall socket that will not quite go on the outside of it.

Not mine - they are smooth on the outside. They actually look like a socket. The wrench adapter actually goes inside the lug nut to remove it. I just wish I could find them - I got them from a company when I ordered my wheels off of eBay, but they said they cannot get them anymore.

My Lexus came with a McGard set that seemed like a good design. Only had the car for 2 years, but never had my OEM wheels stolen. But, I have never had any wheels stolen so I don't know that anyone tried.

Not mine , Those are the ones I am talking about . The points on the inside of the socket bite into the smooth outer diameter of the lug when you hammer it on . I have taken off a few this way.
