Wheel locks on stock wheels

Hi, I just bought some Gorilla wheel locks for my car and I found out how short the stock lug nuts are. The wheel locks are sticking out like a sore thumb! What do stock wheel locks look like from the dealer? Are they also that long? Are there any manufacturers that make shorter wheel locks? Or should I just replace all of my lug nuts with longer ones?

I bought the Scion locking nuts. They're pretty low profile.

Mine came from the dealer with locking nuts, but they stick out like yours. Actually I would change the oem lugs to match the locking ones, they look better.

I guess I'll make a trip to the dealer to take a look at their locking nuts. Thanks, guys.

Same here using OEM locks. It's a bit taller than others, but not like those.

I use these, they are about 1/2 inch longer than OEM but has almost the exact same look to it.
