Wheel locks that dont look like wheel locks?

[AEsco48]

I really don't like the look of wheel lock, not having all 5 nuts the same drives my OCD crazy.

My wife has a 2020 Merc GLE and it has what I consider to be the best wheel locks, from a aesthetic perspective... But they also look to be super functional/secure due to their unique design. All wheel locks are just deterrents and there are 10s of ways of getting them off...

I came upon these from Gorilla
http://www.gorilla-auto.com/x2-wheel-locks

They have a 14x1.5 lock... But anyone know if they fit the Gladiator factory wheels? Really cant find much info on the factory wheel nuts.

Thoughts?

I had the gorillas (black single stage lock version, not chrome) on my last vehicle, and that key to slide onto the lugs was always a PITA to get on and off the lugs. I'd have to apply a little oil to the inside of the key every once in a while otherwise it would jam up on the lug. I know tire shops hated it too since it would take them much longer to get the key installed on each lug to do the torque procedure. Mine also started corroding a bit after 3 years, after reaching out to the Gorilla company they recommended their chrome ones for states that see salted roads in the winter.

That all being said, they worked and I never had a wheel stolen. As far as fitment just order what they recommended for you and if it doesn't fit/work as expected you have that email to force them to replace them (their error)

First thing I did with my new gladiator was remove them, and install the regular lugs that came with it. Can’t stand the locking ones
