MB in Europe sell "approved" wheel locks made by an OEM manafacturer that I cant remember (with a MB star on the unlocking key). The key pattern when looking at the bolt looks similar to a 3 year old child's attempt at drawing a circle !
There is a motoring magazine called Auto Express (here in UK) that about 2 weeks ago did a comparison of wheel locks, and the OEM MB wheel locks came out very well. The OEM has also brought out a newer version that did even better. With cheaper wheel locks its easy to either split/break the bolt or to make a master key or use one of those "universal sockets" on them.
I have MB locks on all of our MB's [all UK supplied MBs come with MB wheel locks] - but then I only know one person who has had a set of AMG alloys dissappear - his car was an import and didnt have the locks on it :-(
