Don't care how slammed you are, if someone wants something off your car they will get it no matter what. Wheel locks hahahaha yeah they help a little but not really, they can be taken off too. Keep your receipt talk to your insurance to make sure they are covered and done deal. If your wheels get jacked insurance gets you a newer set.

Those rolling jacks everybody knows of aren't the only jacks available, and the proper jack points on the sides of a car aren't the only places to use to lift a car you don't care about. Even still, those "low profile" jacks you guys see everywhere aren't the lowest profile rolling jacks around either.
Those jacks in your trunk are quite thin and can squeeze under any lowered car nicely with a little finesse. If anything, it only takes jacking up the rear a bit to fit another jack under the sides. And if you feel the rear of your car is just a bit too low for a jack (which I highly doubt), try having a buddy lift the car by the fender. (We do this to get lowered cars on the lift all the time)
A two man team can strip your wheels in very little time, some people are skilled enough to do this on their own.
Wheel locks are the only thing that can make stealing wheels difficult, but of course there are plenty of ways around that as well.
