Those locks aren't much protection either. They just hammer a socket on it and it comes right off.
Best protection is to just be careful. I always try to park where I can keep an eye on my car. Garage should be safe enough.

I know garage should be fine but what's gonna happen when I go to a club,lounge or any restaurant u know we be in there for hours so they could do whatever in that time

Oh I see yea but what when I'm at the club,lounge or any restaurant lol that's when they do whatever in that time .. I was thinking on putting like 2,3 locks on each tire just to make it harder on them I know I would take them quite some time to take them off lol that would give me time to caught them in the action and **** them up lol 💪💪👊

The Ray's 2 piece lug nuts seem pretty good. Pricey though.

Definitely get an alarm as suggested if you're ever parking in places where this would worry you.

2way alarm with tilt sensor no locking lug will protect u just makes them take a little longer on stealing it
How about a camera? I've been looking into installing a blackvue living in Cali drivers here suck *** and I've had my fair share of rear ends(drivers think I'm at fault when obviously I'm not even insurance thinks same) also had my share of hit n runs in parking lots. This is why we can't have nice things :'(

2way alarm with tilt sensor is crap... car alarm goes off, people don't even pay attention any more unless its an annoying honking horn alarm. I had the 2 way paging alarm system with the clutch autolock on my integra and thieves still found a way to steal my car while my paging remote didn't pick up anything while I was sleeping.

A vendor here is selling rimlox. The guarantee is amazing with free wheel replacement if your wheels are stolen and rimlox are installed correctly. I have never heard of them but apparently they have around for a while.

Here is the link: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...by-rimlox.html

Best piece of mind, make sure your insurance is paid up. Use a reputable insurer.
If someone wants your wheels they will get them.
