Are wheel locks a must?

Hi,

I did not order wheels locks for my car. I usually park it on safe places and I have been told that thieves know how to deal with locks anyways. What do you think? Should I buy some locks? Thanks!

Like any safe, burglar alarm, lock, fence and whatever, wheel locks won't stop a skilled thief, but they are good deterrents and will slow down the stealing process. They will make it more difficult to steal your wheels, making them far less interesting for most stupid thieves.
I would buy and install them, they are not that expensive.

Here is one I heard occasionally: https://us.rimgard.com/

or you can use the traditional method like a steering wheel lock.
