Wheel locks for CSRT?

I went to Kragen, Napa, and two Chrysler dealerships today looking for wheel locks and not one had them! The parts guys at the dealers said I'd wait a minimum of 2 days for their $38 set. Any suggestions?

And...what is the size of the CSRT lug nuts?

Stock lugs take a 21mm hex.

The mcGard locks take a 22mm hex. To avoid having to keep TWO sizes of sockets in your trunk, it's best to have matching lugs that take a 22mm hex.

Please Read!

Be advised, the stock lug nuts suck! They look solid but they are not! They are regular steel acorns with a alloy cover. If you use a 21mm with 12 points and an air gun you will eventually spin the cover and not be able to get the lug nut off! USE ONLY A 6 SIDED SOCKET. Get new one piece solid hard chromed lug nuts from Gorrilla, or other well know manufactures. The size is 14mm x 1.5. If you have aftermarket rims you may want longer lug nuts or locks which Gorrilla also makes.

You are warned!

Mopar wheel locks are made by McGard, for pretty much every model including the 300.
