Default Best lock nuts?

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right section, but hey, its general automotive related :P


Dad has a set of lock nuts on his XR8, just standard supercheap auto jobbies. Mum reversed his car out onto the road today, and I noticed a wheel nut on the ground, with the locking part of it pretty well destroyed. So now I'm after a replacement set, and probably some for my car, too. Would prefer a local supplier so I can grab them tomorrow ideally. Located on the Gold Coast, if thats of any relevance.
What have you guys used? Any input would be very valuable!

Cheers!

Do they still make 'gorilla' lock nuts?

Or have I got the name wrong? Nuts with a revolving sleeve would be the go so you can't bash a socket onto it like some try.

Looking at them, there looks to be only one key style? I could be wrong though
