Question What are Best lug nuts and wheel locks for aftermarket wheels?

Can you guys please tell me what are Best lug nuts and wheel locks for aftermarket wheels? I know you cannot use the current oem lug nuts on the aftermarket wheels. Im in the process of buying flat black Rota wheels 4x100 and I want lug nuts and wheels locks to go with it. Thanks to everyone in advance for your help and time.

best is a relative term. there are cheap or expensive lug nuts from different companies and they all pretty much just hold the wheel on. ive had some $30 set of black muteki nuts for couple yrs and they work great. very lightweight too. other nuts go for $100+ and are the same idea. in fact alot of the expensive ones have problems like the color fading over time.

I guess you are right. I dont really need the best lugnuts/wheel locks for the rims that Im getting. I only want to spend about $40-$50 at most.
I just need good quality lug nuts that are inexpensive like the muteki/gorillas/mcgard that will do the job. Anyone else uses muteki/gorillas/mcgard and which is better out of the 3? Are all 3 also wheel locks too?

muteki comes with all nuts as locking, and they include a key that fits all the nuts. but its also the same key between different sets. for example i had chrome nuts and then decided i wanted black to match the rims better, well the two keys were the same thing. not really very secure, but my rims are old and less than $100 each.
