Get spine lug nuts cause ain't noting taking those off unless you have that socket for it. Those supposed Locking lucks that need specials keys are useless cause if you just get a big enough allen wrench then they can get them off. Spines ownz.

It will be a pain in the *** when you want to take them off because you'll need 4 different keys to remove 1 wheel, but the chance that a thief has all 4 kinds of keys, alot less than regular lugs.

Haha yeah right, i lost my key to mine and i went to "america's Tire Company" and paid $3.65 for a new one. so there went that idea.
in response of how to keep your wheels from getting jacked, there is no absolute way, i mean damn i have a mac set of key removal sockets that can take off any lock (they arent cheap so theifs cant afford em
) but there is a company called Godzilla (or maybe it was Gorilla) that makes one set of locking lugs and if you lose the key you have to wait for them to make you a new one. (they are a bitch to get off too when the customer "loses their key" for the wheels).

no matter how much you try to keep your ----, if they want it bad enough they will get it. just for security, call the cops at least 2 times a week saying you chased someone off your car in the middle of the night, they will make your house or neighborhood a regular round.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
I have wheel locks on my Bimmer that require an actual key, that goes into an actual keyhole on the lug. if you try to turn the wheel lock to undo the bolt, it just spins until you take the lock off. You could try some ---- like that... maybe at a BMW dealership, or maybe they have them at www.bmpd.com
