Need help! wheel locks for the after market wheels!

Im planning to buy wheel locks for my after market wheels. I have MORR wheels and my OEM wheel locks dont fit. OEM locks are too big. Saw this mcgard wheel locks and the size were this.

Cone seat
Thread size M14x1.5
Shank length 27.0mm
Overall length 50.3mm
Key hex size 17mm

Is this size going to work for my wheels? What kind wheel locks do you guys use for the after market wheels? I really need ur help before some one steals my rims. Aint that safe over here where I live. I really appreciate for ur help.

You need M14 * 1.25 ... NOT M14 *1.5

.... yes, but at $400+ for a set. Your wheels better be worth $10K.

I've used RAD wheel locks in the past. They are coated with something so they never rust but the only problem is that they only come in silver. You could paint the heads black yourself.

You can prob pick the up for 325-350 and yes the reason I went with these is because my wheel/tire setup is just under 10K.

Thanks guys. I just purchased the Mcgard and they fit perfect. Only down side is they come in chrome instead of black color.
