Ah okay, I'll get one anyways. Better safe than sorry lol.

My McGard Spline Drive lug nuts came as a kit with the locks included, so again they get my recommendation as I've been extremely happy with them.

The thread size you'll need is m12 x 1.25 - I would also hold onto at least five of your OEM lug nuts and keep those in the car at all times as well (in the event that you need to utilize the spare tire.)
Awesome, thanks for the info! Just wanna make sure I get one that can prevent it theft as best as it can. Since they're not cheap and don't mind paying a bit for better security as long as price is reasonable.

Also if theres more recommendations, please let me know so I can take a look at it!

Thanks!
