Wheel locks or not, as you said, if someone wants them...they'll take them.

But wheel locks are still a good idea. They'll prevent most noobs from jocking your wheels.

Right now I'm using the stock Nissan wheel locks. They seem to be doing an okay job...

If you want bling, then you can go ahead and get some aftermarket lugs that come with wheel locks.

From the looks of your sig, I'm thinking about jacking your 2(yes 2) cars. But I would say just get wheel locks like everyone said. However I know a friend of mine had his G picked up on a flatbed and takin away. Although I know that does not happen all the time.
Thanks!

Depending on the wheels you have, you are limited to what ever lugs fit that specific wheel...

Just be aware, those sockets with the multiple pins in them will remove most wheels locks avail. Remember, as with any lock, they just keep an honest man honest...

I've owned 2 sets of Advans in the past...Sienna Gen IIs and Kreuzers and I had 2 different sets of Mc Gards on each wheel. They worked great for me. For my oem 19s on the coupe, I just use one Mc Gard lock/wheel.

McGard defintely makes one of the best locks out there and they make them in different sizes from super skinny to fat chubby ones.

3 different keys for three different sets of locks one each wheel. but if they want them they will get them it will just take them a lot more time to do so.

Nice, maybe I'll just take your G, or your TT. who no's? haha, I dobt someone will go through alot of trouble to get multiple wheel locks off. As long as your car is in a well lit area. But anything can happen. Its like getting on a plane now a days. You just never know.
Thanks!
