Default Locking Lug Nuts

I just changed my brakes and rotors today and I hate dealing with the factory security lug nuts. (Please don't give me your opinion about brakes and rotor because I disagree that putting a Corvette braking system on it the right thing to do.)

I know the lugs are 12mm X 1.5 but I don't know how easy to used other locking lug nuts are to use. What do you have on your Camaro and how do you like them?

Waste of time. Special sockets are available in most parts stores that will take the locking nuts off just as easily as a regular nut. Just for curiosity, what do Corvette brakes have to do with locking nuts?

Corvette brakes have nothing to do with locking lugs nuts. Yet there are some on this board that think it's a requirement to "upgrade" a brake system to a Corvette grade brake system. I think that's bad advise.

I'm thinking of just dumping the locking lugs all together also so I'm not to far off on that thought.
