Can I use any wheel locks put out by Hyundai for my 2013 Elantra? Are there other tried & tested brands I can use?

I tried using a set of Nissan wheel locks and they would not fit on the Elantra bolts. I thought that's a bit strange and when I try seeing the spec's for those locks and the ones from what I see advertised of the Hyundai brand, they both say 12mm. I must be missing something about those spec's.

That's because the Nissan uses 12x1.25 lug studs while the Elantra has a 12x1.5 size stud.

Silly question...what does the 1.25 and 1.50 represent? The bolt basically didn't allow me to screw it on after a couple of turns. If I buy the Hyundai brand, that should work on all models...correct?

The 1.25 and 1.50 is the thread pitch. In metric measurements, this means how many mm from peak to peak along the threaded section's longitudinal axis. I believe that all Hyundai cars should use the same thread pitch lug nuts.
