Wheel nut locks
Complete waste of time and money. I too pondered this very question and went on my way locking nut shopping. Talked to a guy who sold them and he said that honestly its a waste of time and money, you can buy kits that have the wrench for every single locking nut out there for cheap, he showed me his, and he said they are far more likely to steal the whole truck than just the rims and tires as there are far more goodies they can get and its easier and faster to yank it up on a trailer than to take off all the tires. I said screw it and didnt get any locking nuts. If they want your rims they are gonna get them no matter what you have on them, lol!

i'll never own another wheel lock. my wife bought a truck in 2001 that came with those locks. you don't know how many times they caused problems. we use the roadside assistance a few times, she had an accident, etc. seemed like every time it was getting lost. and when did we notice it was missing? when we had a flat. f....that! i took 'em off and put on regulars. haven't had a wheel stolen yet. btw, i always have stockers......no aftermarkets.
hahah. now, that's funny. i couldn't agree more!
