I agree
if someone wants your wheels bad enough, they will find the wheel key for it.
It's not that hard to find a matching wheel key, or worst case scenario, hammer on a slightly oversized socket, or a bolt-off socket.

An alarm would have gone a long way to helping solve that problem. Locking lugs are only a small deterrent.
Parking in a better place is my plan. My car only rarely sits outside and never outside at my home.

Most performance mods need a watch and timed course to demonstrate actual improvement. Few deliver the advertised claims. Many are actually worse than stock. The best performance mods are made to the driver.
Emotional arguments - They're not just for chicks anymore.

A garage and good insurance are my favorite methods.
