Do you guys have wheel locks on your aftermarket wheels?
Ok I just witnessed 2 guys parked by my car at home and now Im desperately waiting for my 4 piece locks to come. I'm paranoid cause I just got these new wheels and spent a bit of money on them.
What wheel locks are you guys using?
Right now im only using muteki tuner lugs without the lock but I will be getting the 4 piece locks in a few days.

I had my wheels stolen in the middle of the night back in April. It's garaged now. And I have muteki locks and lugs. Unfortunately lugs will only slow them down. if they want ur wheels that bad they'll be able to get them. The only thing that'll stop someone from stealing ur wheels is keeping it garaged or another option is having all locks in place of ur lugs. Nobody is gonna wanna try to break through that set up. Mcgard locks are legit http://www.mcgard.com/AutomotiveProducts/WheelLocks

I had a friend who used to repo rims (he worked at one of those rent to own rim shops) and he said all they did was on their portiable impact drill, use a bigger lug nut remover than needed and snapped off the locks in a few seconds.
Want to really protect your rims, buy a boot to put on each Those are a PITA to remove. Other than that garage it.

I think there is another company that sells wheel locks that are unbreakable...I don't believe it but I forgot the name. The lugnuts and locks cost $400 so its pretty expensive...as far as it working I'm not sure...I forgot the name but will look into as I have the site saved at home. Go with McGards and a tilt sensor.
