Do those of you with after market wheels use wheel locks?

 

no

 

Everyone keeps the wheel locking nut in the glove box, tool box or centre console and thieves know this so its a good question

 

no, if they want it they will get it.

 

Easier and faster to take the whole car in the US.
In Mexico I have 2X wheel locks on factory Chevrolet steel wheels.

Boosting rims in the O.C.

 

yes. absolutely...but with no dillusions about the locks being the panacea for
thefts. use will discourage the casual thefts...thefts of opportunity. but if
someone has really set their mind on grabbing your HRE, DPE, CCW et al, you
can be sure they will.

otherwise, with a defeatist mentality, there would be no need to lock doors etc
based on the theory that 'they'll get inside anyway....'

 

Wheel locks arnt stoping anybody...Ive been to a few wheel shops that easily open up the wheel locks w/o the key....I have locks on mine, But it dosnt make me feel any better about my wheels not being stolen

 

Yes I have wheel locks. If someone wants the wheels or the car they will find a way to take it but at least it will slow'em down for a few seconds at least.
