Wheel Locks?

Whats up, i just got my EVO IX SE which doesn't come with wheel locks(why would mr with the same rims), so i picked some up from Mitsubishi. I searched a bit and saw a lot of people having problems with even the OEM locks/keys stripping out. I have a torque wrench does anyone know torque specs/ or what wheel locks should to torqued to cause I am not trying to have this problem when I want to rotate tires.

Thanks

To me wheel locks are pointless and a pain-in-the ***. I torque my evo to 80 lbs. and torque the wheel lock too. This is how I think of it, if someone wants your wheels that badly, they will break the wheel lock too.
