Locking lug nuts - favorite brand?

I'll be purchasing a set of MB Motoring Weapon Bronze wheels today and was curious if you folks have any input regarding locking lug nuts. I've used Gorrilla and MgGard brand and found the Gorrilla to rust quite easily. Also, any thoughts on these particular wheels?

Wheels should look nice Ali! What's the offset? Seven spoke wheels are always so handsome!! Be sure to post pics installed. Sorry, I'm no help on wheel locks.

Yup, in a Pearlie. It'll be great to drive at 75 mph and not feel the wobbles!

Later.

Can't say as I have ever had a problem with the gorilla lugs rusting, but if your worried about it then go with the McGards

Gorilla

I've run Gorillas on my Accord (1997 - 2003) my WRX (2003 - 2004) and my SVX (current) without any rust of any kind.
I owned a set of McGuards on a BMW 318i 1995 - 1996. They were nice, but expensive.

I like the Gorillas.
