Do I need to be concerned about the wheels being stolen?

Would you live with it the way it is, or pay $45 for four keyed or
locking lug nuts?

Everyone is always so helpful so I wanted to post here even though it
is off topic.


Where are you going to PUT these $45 locking lug nuts? In the glove box?

As to whether you should worry about the wheels being stolen, that depends
on the neighborhood where the car is parked and the value of the wheels. For
sufficiently valuable wheels in an unmonitored location, the thieves may
take an acetylene torch to the axles.


You lost me. I would put one on each wheel. I don't have any
and the wheels sell for about $180 ea. Just thought I would ask.

Thanks.

I don't mean to be rude but wheels that only cost $180 each aren't
worth getting worried too about. That's just about the bottom of the
barrel.
