It will just slow them down. If they want your rims, they are going to get them
This is true, locks can just be chiseled with a hammer until a socket fits on it enough to take it off. But like stated. They do slow the thieves down quite a bit, and I think most thieves just leave them alone because they don't want to deal with the hassle or the noise created when getting the locks off. So they are not 100% thief proof, but effectively they do work as people just leave them.
I personally think they're worth the investment. Plus I get a discount for insurance for having them.
just roll on some new stock 2004 wheels and powdercoat em black, its $200 at most to coat, and its still stock. not sure why yall are in a fad for aftermarket wheels. but i do like some volks and works but who wants to worry 24/7 if your going to get robbed no thanks
currently looking for a set of rims... but how do you guys feel about wheel locks? Are they guarenteed to work?
Wheel locks are a well discussed subject.
Locks will not prevent theft. Locks simply take an extra step for the thief. Theft is a crime of opportunity. A thief will always seek the easiest opportunity.

yeh that makes sense, how do you feel about possibly having 2 differant locks?

Well my Z sleeps in the garage, so I don't worry about my wheels being stolen. And stock 04's are nasty, hence the aftermarket wheels. If you do go oem, make sure they're 06 and up if you can.

Well my Z sleeps in the garage, so I don't worry about my wheels being stolen. And if someone breaks into my garage to steal my wheels, well there would have been nothing I could possibly do to prevent that. So no need to worry. We worry more about curbage and rock chips. Haha.

OMG OP I'm sorry man. That is so devastating to see.
I have wheel locks and haven't had a problem, but my wheels are OEM's powdercoated so I don't know if they're as desirable as aftermarket.
They can still strip down the wheel locks. A shop almost did that to mine when I forgot to give them the key. Good thing the didn't because they would be buying me some new ones!
wow bro thats ruff i hope you end up on top for ur circumstance. j/w but do you have a pic of ur car with the wheels on it? thats some hood **** though wow
