Best wheel locks for FRS ?

Hi guys I'm trying to get my hands on some good wheel locks. The thing is MCgard are crap cause a saw a video of a guy placing a socket fitting tight on top. Hammering and then removing the lock easily.
I think the best would be finding a short wheel lock, with some pattern around not plain. I've found this what do you think ?

These are open end so I don't like but well great cause they're small in lenght

Well first of these are made by the Mac Guard for TRD, retail for these at Toyota here in Norway is 500USD.. So it's half the price after you order straight from Japan.

Second they look great, and it's genuine TRD, and would be hard for anyone to steal

I will make a review when I get em, and my GT86 TRD that is due for arrival late of may..

But then again, I have the TRD SF2 rims, at my GT86 (as said when it arrives), so I did not want to hold back on the lug nuts either

Hi thanks it's too much money 250$ for some wheel locks I was thinking on getting these, what do you think , they do seem to have a nice pattern around hard for a socket to fit on top and hammer to steal and take them away. Or then there's another one
