Colored wheel locks???

I want to replace my wheel lock for a blue colored set, but I can't find any manufacturers that make locking lugs in anything but chrome.

Does anyone know a company that makes them and can point me to a site. I looked at McGard and Gorilla, but no luck yet.

Yes, they make colored lugs, but I aam looking for colored wheel locks, not just lugs.

Gorilla makes some lugs that require a hex key and the call it a lock, but they also say if you lose th key, you can remove then with a normal hex socket as well. That isn't really a lock if it can be removed with a socket you can buy at any auto parts store.

yeah thats tru about tha gorilla's - they are also about $25 for 4 sets of 4-- tha McGaurd are about $89 for 4 sets of 4... now if u really wanted to.....& i have seen done before... is just get a couple of sets.. & mix & match them... get like a set from each company out there.... & put 1lug nut from each set on each wheel-- this way its all mixed & matched.. thats really tha only way your going to have locking wheels.. UNLESS u have TOORA wheels... -- which ofcoarse have there won sep locking system.
