I also had the wheel locks included with my vehicle.
Also there's no such thing as a "good" set of wheel locks. It's a fancy nut, and ultimately anyone who really wants to steal your wheels should be able to just hammer on a socket and rip them off. They're a good deterrent but if someone really wants your wheels they'll get them.

Are locks worth the hassle? A thief can easily remove them with a $10 tool. I have been on the fence with this for some time.

I bought a set from ECS Tuning for $50. They go on over the bolt head and fit any head from 27-29mm. Also if you have extended bolts due to wheel spacers they will work. I know no lock is theft proof, but theese look pretty difficult to get past due to the design.

Those would help against the usual "hammer on a socket" technique. But it looks like they all use the same removal tool, so whats to stop someone from removing them with the same tool?
