Do you use wheel locks?

Do you guys use wheel locks? I've been thinking about adding them to my car since I need a new lugnut or two here and there anyway (road salt kills these things.) What kind do you use and where'd you get them?

Thanks fellas.

Nope if someone wants your wheels the locks wont stop them, they just do damage to your car breaking them off

Like stated above, All you have to do is pound a 12 point socket unto one of the locks and you can turn it right off.

The cheap ones suck. The ones from modern performance you can take off with a regular 19mm socket. Haha.
