The locking lug nuts are a waste of your money. They can be removed just as quickly as any of the other nuts. You can remove them without special tools or you can buy the special sockets.

Just trying to save you some dough.
Now YOU know...
And yes, anyone willing to spend the $$$ for a lock removal socket kit can get them off. But how many crooks do you know that would go to the trouble of ordering them, waiting for them to come in the mail, then come to your house to use them. BTW, to use them, it takes some noise to make them work properly (hammering them on), which should wake the neighbors.
All locks....ANY locks just keep honest people honest anyway, right? That cuts out 95% of the knickers out there... But do what works for you!

Saying locking lug nuts is a waste of money is just as good as saying locking your truck is a waste of time. Yeah a smart thief gets what he wants, but the OP wants to lower his chance of being ripped off.

Unless you're in the projects, they're usually not sticking around long enough to bang that socket on.
I lived in a very shady area for five years. Nobody even looked at my truck. It had the factory 20's.
Besides they don't carry a jack that'll lift up our trucks.

After reading this article, me thinks it would be easier and with less noise to open the front door of your home or business than to remove locking wheel nuts.

Your studs are the same as the factory 18"/20" rims.
I know the McGard are just a hair shorter than the factory lug nut, and you really have to look to notice it's different.
