wheels locks are just annoying to someone who wants to steal your wheels; they won't prevent anything

truth.

if someone want's them, they will get them.

i run the Rays lugs, and they're odd sized with a different size key'd lock lug(not to mention they look good). I think the autozone locks won't help, as someone can just go to autozone and have the key for them... and this may be a shameless plug, but I have an extra set for cheap if you are looking to buy.

kics heptagon lug nuts are priced pretty good.
or just get the gorilla lock nuts.
or just get like 3 different sets of lock nuts, that would be annoying as crap.

Having used a few different brands and versions over the years, I swear by the KICS now. I also hate the lock-nuts, so I don't use them. But the quality of the KICS is so much better than anything else I've used.
