Is it worth spending money on wheel locks?
What do you guys think? Do you have any experience with it?

LOL, say that to the hundreds of 2016-2017 Accord Sport owners who had their rims jacked or the owners of BMWs with M-Sport factory rims.burnt69 wrote: ↑ Fancy aftermarket rims, sure.

Had a blow-out at night that I had to change on the side of the road, with minimal light, and having to locate a lock key would have been a giant PITA.

Yea but most fancy aftermarket rims are cut specific for that car / offset / bolt pattern that it would make it harder for the thief to turn over.burnt69 wrote: ↑ Fancy aftermarket rims, sure.

Also I had issues with Toyota main dealer constantly over tightening the wheel nuts then when I came to seasonally swap the rims I had issues applying enough torque to the locknut and one broke/stripped. Now I do not use them (locknuts or dealer). Also with locknuts I apply a little less grunt to the locknut than the other nuts and always slacken the locknut off before the other nuts when removing.burnt69 wrote: ↑ Fancy aftermarket rims, sure.
