do you really need the wheel locks? I say just go without them, not only its hard to find red ones, but even if you do most likely they wont match the other red anyways and will look super odd, I feel like if someone is going to steal your rims they will take them with or without the locks, sure the locks might deter a rookie but pros laugh at wheel locks all the time

I had the same issue finding lugnuts I want because NOONE makes 14x1.25 (except for Motorsport Hardware but I wanted other colors). Maybe try 14x1.5? Same size just different thread lengths

Wheel locks are a joke and will be more of a headache for you than it ever will be for a professional wheel thief. You're adding MAYBE .05 seconds to their time to steal your wheels. If they want them, they're gonna take them.

I'm more concerned with the UNprofessional wheel thieves than the professional. On the off chance someone does want to steal my wheels I hope they see the lock and decide to move on

If you do a stud conversion you can easily find colored lug nuts with matching locks. Blox and Project kics are the first that come to mind as far as lug nuts go.

I did this on my E46 M3. Way easier when mounting and unmounting wheels also.

Stud conversion from Ryan at Motorsport Hardware converts the stock 14x1.25 to 14x1.5 so you have way more nut and lock options
