Wheel Locks
What kind do you use?
I'm looking for GM ones or ones I can still put my lug nut covers on so they are hidden. Anywhere I can find them?

Re: Wheel Locks
Amcor is the brand that came on thirdgens stock. I don't see any black ones on their website anymore but maybe give them a call. I have purchased a replacement key from them about a year ago.

Re: Wheel Locks
Gorilla Wheel Locks from Summit Racing on line. Sorry no covers for these. They also come in black chrome steel.

Re: Wheel Locks
I got stock-style gold, open ended lug nuts from O'Reillys Auto & used the stock, black plastic covers.
Since my wheels are custom powder coated, I keep my lug nut socket & locking nut key wrapped in black electrical tape, to provide a "soft" surface as a cushion between the lug nut & the wheel itself to prevent scratching the powder coating. Not a bad idea even for any other colored/powder coated wheel. The tape is easy to cheap & easy to replace, when it tears any.

Re: Wheel Locks
The stock Amcors do not take caps. They are round black and metal, similar to the ones pictured above. However it looks like Amcor does not sell those anymore. Looks like they do sell the round ones in chrome and locks that take the plastic caps. Take a look:
