Which wheel locks to use with long lugs & spacers?

I just purchased 12mm H&R spacers for my custom (after market) front wheels. I also ordered longer H&R lugs that are used to bolt the spacer and wheel to the hub. The length of these lugs is about 43mm.

I am unable to find good quality wheel locks of this size. My rear wheels have mcguard locks which are considered one of the best (they make BMW wheel locks). These locks are exactly the same size as stock lugs (25mm) and hence cannot be used with the front spacers. (My rear wheels have 30mm spacers that use their own lugs and the stock lugs are used to bolt the wheel to the spacer)

Has anyone tried using wheel locks that are longer than stock lugs by at least 10mm? Brands/models please...?
