What I've been told is that theives usually have all the keys for the locks, so its not too difficult for them to still get your rims. The only thing you can do is slow them down (time is their worst enemy).
I've been told to get some wheel locks from foreign wheel locks, and to buy two different kinds for each wheel. That would do its job in slowing them down, if not stopping them.
Maybe I'm just paranoid because I've already had my car stolen (not my 350Z!) so I did a lot of research on alarms and such. Its just a couple of ideas I ran across..

Imo, getting 2 different sets will cause you more harm than good. It'll slow down theives, yes, but it'll also make it a little more complicated than it needs to be.

These are the standard spline drive lugs:
Just want to make sure you have the protection level you think you have as only the locks are uniquely keyed...the spline drive is the same for all their lugs.
I have 20 of the standard spline drives, in chrome (the lower picture)
this will fit. I orderred my set from this seller.

can't tell. I looked on mcgard's site, but it doesn't give any details about it. I know the spline drives do, they're described in detail, but nothing on the other ones.
