What are good Lugs to protect my new wheels?

I'm in the market for some Lug nuts to protect my new wheels.

I was thinking of 16 McGard Spline Drive Lugs and 4 Mcgard Wheel Locks.

Would this be enough?
What are some other options?

Also, will these Lugs scrape the wheel paint when torqued down?

Thanks!

buy 5 sets of the neo chros and use only the lock parts of it, it has spinning hats so it shouldnt scrape the wheels.

for studs i would suggest ARP from summit....and for nuts i suggest the project kics....i thought thats what you were talking about since you said you didnt want to ruin the paint. Project kics...you should be able to get them in most places that sell high end jdm stuff...i can order them.....they are on back order right now. Mackin Indt. sells them too.
