I have two and my dad has another two.

I had wheel locks because they were cheaper, really it meant that it slowed down wheel changes and working on the car. Bought a set like the OP's so that multiple people can work on the car at once.

How often do your wheels come off and how paranoid are you? Wheels only come off every two years for new tires? Fuck it get the locks.
my wheels come off relatively frequently (racerboy lyfe yo!). i am probably leaning towards getting a set of locks anyway because why not i guess. like others have said it would hurt worse to get your wheels stolen if you neglected to put locks on them. Besides, that way with locks you have four spare lugs in case something gets stripped etc.
