Which wheel locks "fit"

The wheels to my Fit were recently stolen. I got some aftermarket wheels and bought Gorilla wheel locks. I put on the new wheels this morning but found that the Gorilla wheel lock I bought doesn't fit - the Gorilla key does not fit into the original equipment wrench.

Can someone let me know which wheel lock works? I'd prefer to have one where the key fits the original equipment wrench.

I have a 2010 Fit Sport.

Thanks!

^^^^^^^^
I don't even use the stock wheel wrench. I have a 4-way wrench that has two of the arms on pivots so the whole wrench can fold into a narrow straight form that fits easily in the spare tire well. The 4-way wrenches have four different hex sizes, one of which will fit any wheel lock key.

The wheel locks that are sold as Honda accessories are made by McGard in New York. You can get them on eBay for around $30.00, but a 4-way lug wrench would probably cost less than another set of wheel locks.

Thanks for the help! I ended up borrowing a breaker bar at Autozone to tighten the lugs. I like the folded 4-way, I'll get one to put in the car just for emergency.

Autozone has a small chrome lug wrench with rubber grips that's around $15, and it fits snug in the spare tire. Bonus is it's small enough to tighten and loosen lug nuts without lifting the car at all.

Are thieves mostly going after the nicer wheels on the sport only or are the base models in danger of being left on blocks too?

I don't think we need to worry about our steel wheels getting stolen.
