What do you all think? I'm in the market for open-end lock nuts. I'd like for every nut to have a lock, not just one per wheel. I have gorilla lock nuts now, but I've become curious in other designs, particularly the seven-point nuts.
What are your opinions on the best lock nut?

just make sure they're quality nuts and key and you should be fine. I use gorilla lock nuts and I'm fine with them.

when I bough my 1st gen, it had some ricer rims on them with lock nuts that have an internal pattern. DO NOT get those. the key is like an allen wrench with a pattern and the lugs were already starting to strip. I found the key online and tried to get them off. I managed to get them off but stripped 8 of 16 lugs nuts and almost broke the key on the last one. toss those in the trash and bought some gorillaz.
