I use Gorilla locks but they're not available here. Mine are black chrome and match the OEM lugbolts very well.

The lugbolts have a conical seat as opposed to a round, acorn shape; this is critical when selecting a replacement. The thread is 12x1.5 with a length of 25mm. Overall the OEM lugbolt is 50mm. The socket size is 17mm.
