Default Wheel lock question

The wheel locks that I bought a few months ago for my car SUCK , so I want to get some new ones. Just to make sure, what is the thread pattern for a '98 Civic? Is it 12mm x 1.5? Also, I know many people around here use Gorilla locks...are they good? What about McGard? Thanks in advance.

They sucked b/c when you would try to take them off, the top part of the lock would actually bend because of the pressure of the key...and this is doing it by hand, not even with air tools. Also, the parts that started bending also began to rust slightly. They are total crap.
