Don't bother with OEM locks (same as McGard locks) because they are easy to get off. Get yourself a set of Gorilla locks. They use a key that goes around the lock instead of in the face of the lock and they are harder for a thief to get off.

I know a guy that replaced all 20 of his lug nuts with Gorilla locks. Maybe that's a little paranoid, but it sure would be hard to steal his wheels.

I'd be more scared of trying to get them all off myself when necessary instead of them getting stolen.

i think most people do use locks because they usually come with them when you buy the car.

i would highly suggest you get some kind of wheel lock. granted if thieves wanted to get your wheels, they will get them some how some way, but @ least give them a deterrent to slow them down

let them steal your oem wheels. Insurance rather pay you out for new wheels than the price for oems.

The saleman at the dealer tried to sell me wheel locks but I opted against it, are these the best ones?
