Muteki SR48 - do you bother with wheel locks?

Got some open ended mutekis to replace the oem lugs (which IMO are some of the crappiest oem lugs ever made). i know muteki does make a locking version of this lug for security purposes, but i was just wondering how many muteki users actually get the locking set? the plain jane sr48s require the included attachment to get them off in the first place (i.e. you can't just take them off with any old tire iron or torque wrench). theoretically anybody with a set of mutekis can take them off but the odds of a wheel thief having that is probably low and at that point if someone REALLY wants your wheels they can still get them, even if they are locked. The locking set to me seems kind of redundant and an unnecessary pain in the butt.

non locking regular nuts (requires muteki attachment to remove since they are extended/open end lugs):



additional locking lugs (requires a different muteki key to remove, though presumably all the locking lugs have the same key):
