well personally i dont see the point in wheel locks unless you live in an area where wheels are getting taking consantly. its kinda hard to jack the car up, take off all 4 wheels in a short amount of time. plus carring the jack to the car. but i had some locking lug nuts on my car when i baught them and i took them to a store and all they did was take an impact wrench to them and they came off. they were ruined but they came off. tire shops are pretty good at getting them off and if you know what your doing you can get them off pretty easy.

wheels can be stolen in less than 10 minues. ive seen it done around here many times. (chicago area)
wheel locks are always good to have, but the locks can still be taken off very easily. they make a lock breaker that you can buy at an auto store. literally justput it onlock hit it with a hammer and it brakes off and you unscrew it like a regular lug. its not common, but it does happen.
