Use wheel locks or not?

I personally don't like them. If somebody wants to steal your wheels they are going to. Not only do they look like crap they are pretty easy to get off. I was helping a friend of mine change his wheels and tires and his lock key was stripped so we just found a socket to hammer on it and took it right off. Didn't take no time.

And another good point. Lowlifes know the lock has to be in the car. I'd imagine they'd break into the car to get. But glad to hear they came very useful to your families safety, SS1129.

Do people really steal rims anymore? I figured they'd just take the whole damn car? Wheels locks might deter the kid or unprepared *******, but any reputable thief (if there is such a thing) will go right past them.

It's not hard if they have the right tools to take off the lock nut. Seen someone take a lock nut off in 30 seconds with tools. Would still have them on though.
