so as I stated before wheel locks bad, tuner lugs are OK, best are regular old lug nuts (BTW I have Tuner lugs but I have 3 keys 1.with spare 2.ingarage 3.in house just incase one gets lost for some reason)

Well thank you for response.
Your defeatism attitude is what makes this world unsafe.
Yes your right, if they really want the wheels they going to have to steal the car.
Guess what? They are going to have to take it to the next step.
Not just removing lugs and installing blocks underneath your car.

Its like buying with cash and showing it around. Would you do that?
Your inviting them to come and steal it from you.
If your wheels are locked, your going to force them to ask them self, how bad do i want those wheels.
I bet anything, that a thief steals more wheels then do they with cars.
Its just common sense.
About losing the key? If your a type of person that loses things, then you got more problems then unlocking your wheel.
