wheel locks

What are the best brand of wheel locks? Also are factory ones any good?
A lot of cars end up on blocks or crates at my school which caused me to be interested in this topic

These look pretty cool. I don't know if there is a way to bypass the spinning cover.

Is it confirmed that the BRZ/FRS lugs are 12M x1.25 in size? I saw that posted in another thread but it was just speculation based on the fact that that's the size for other Subarus.

I believe so, I just ordered:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/McGard-65554BK-Chrome-SplineDrive-Installation/dp/B0006HOVNE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1345060641&sr=8-3&keywords=wheel+lock+12x1.25"]Amazon.com: McGard 65554BK Chrome/Black SplineDrive Wheel Installation Kit (M12 x 1.25 Thread Size) - For 5 Lug Wheels: Automotive[/ame]

If they don't fit, I'll update. If they fit, I'll probably forget to update.

They are definitely 12x1.25.

The stock ones work just as well as any others but if you are going to spend the money might as well get something which looks better too.
