Which locking wheel nuts are best?

Also, by fitting 17's on, which are wider, do I need longer wheel bolts??? ...as that is how my Nova alloy rolled off, as the wheel bolts were not long enough for the Kahn alloys.

Please advise.

Go for a decent make with a proper key not just a funny shaped socket, definately dont go for halfords own make ones.

Go to a specialist alloy shop and ask them for the best they have, a decent set are worth the money as the key wont snap when your changing your wheel on the motorway.

Just went to the local C.A.R shop and got some locking wheel nuts that are "round" with 4 thick pins on the key that dig into the locking wheel nut...so no thief can put a socket onto them!!
