How do you guys secure your wheels?
The search function is acting weird right now and not returning results. I am just curious what kind of secure lugs you are using? Thanks.

Well, I am asking since I don't have stockies on. On my other cars, where lug nuts are used to bolt the wheels on, there seems to be more options. On the MB where the lug bolts are used, options are scarce.

I realize that if someone really wants your wheels, locks will at best slow them down. Still, inquiring minds want to know.

I have RAD wheel locks. I don't think they would be much of a deterrent for a persistent thief but they are priced cheap enough I figured what the hell. They are (or were) a sponsor of this site so some searching should reveal contact info.

I have an attack cat that sleeps in my wheel wells. Anybody comes and messes with my rims, they get rabies.

That adds unsprung weight, I'd rather go with locks.
