Default Locking wheel nuts

Rather mundane thread I know, but where can I get a nice set? My import doesn't have any, thats normal I believe.

Halfords will really look out of place cos my nuts have a domed top. Plus I reckon any security sold by a nationwide company will be easier to crack, just because of how common it is/shared info amongst criminals.....

Anywhere you can buy a set that have a cap that fits over the top to sort of, well not hide, but blend them in?

Get a set of McGard wheel nuts for about £30
AFAIK this is also what the dealers sell.

I've got a spare set of McGard ones for £15 inc P & P if interested?
They don't come with caps though.
The only capped ones that blend in have three holes to match pins on the lock - they tend to get knackered by overzealous tyre fitters. Once stuck, you'll be left with a headache to get them off.
