Default Locking wheel nuts and bolts

What are the best ones to get as Im fed up with them shearing the pins on the key and having to ruin sockets to get the wheels off Need 2 sets, one set of stud type for the S2 and the nut type for the saff.

Any recomendations guys

McGard are the best one's I've come across, secure and top quality.
They were supplied by Ford as Ford branded items for a while..
Regularly come up on Ebay. like these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...943594332&rd=1
provided you have the Keycode you can order a spare key from Ford too..
