My wheels came with a key for the lug nuts. So you can't take the wheels off with out it.

Actually, it's probably not such a bad idea. You can sell them as brand new and get some pretty good money for them. Plus, it would be impossible to track them back as the stolen wheels because they are so common. Easy pick and easy sell, what could possibly go wrong.

That looks like it could be pushed over really easily!

Thieves will sometimes sell the alloy wheels for metal scrap too

If someone really wants your wheels; they're coming off! They make tools for technicians to get around locked lugs, like when the owner can't remember what happened to it...

One tool bites into the metal with grooves that go opposite the threads on the wheel studs, and another tool is hammered on and splits the lugs down the middle. Locks just slow the experienced thieves down a second!
