Default Difference in Wheel Locks??

Clair Parts has two sets of wheel locks for sale, one at $49 and one at $79. Does anyone know what the difference is between the two? Here in San Diego I have had all my tires and rims stolen before (not on the A4), so wheel locks are a must!

Default Buy a set of locks from discount tire. They can get you a set of 4 Gorilla locks

I paid $30 for the set of 4. The part #47020, 14x1.5 is the size. People have told me that the McGard locks tend to rust and the key part of the lock tends to strip. The Gorilla lock looks much better and the key goes deeper into the lock. If you want to see the locks on my car I live just outside of San Diego in Murrieta, but I do come down alot to go to my parents and to see the rest of the SCAC members in San Diego.
