Well thought out and said. My point I was getting across was wheel locks specifically. I do not want them on my car because they are useless. An oversized socket tapped on one can easily be removed even without a key.
We dismount every tire and wheel on every car purchased at our yard and have had every type of wheel lock to deal with. We use the master set on most but use sockets as well and by my observations this is why I choose not to buy them. They are too easy to remove
Yes maybe the locking lug will stop the amateur thief but with some planning and thought your 4k of wheels will be gone in a heartbeat. Kinda like having your screen door locked at night to your house with your other door open

I wonder if you could modify your car to take F1 Wheel Nuts.

Imagine how pissed off a thief would be if he came to take your wheels and found them held on by one of those.

AFAIK, only one company makes a center lock conversion kit. It is as expensive as a decent set of wheels. Then you have to buy new wheels on top of that. Which are as expensive as other top of the line wheels. You're looking at over $7000 for the full setup.

There are a number of spin on conversion kits for older British cars (MG, Triumph etc.) Though these are a very different type of center locking (spline drive) wheel. Someone could just beat off the wheel with a mallet. Hehe. Beat off.

Also I've never seen anyone convert to centerlocking on a modern car, but at the track I've come across a few porsche owners who convert to conventional lugs since it's a pain in the *** to work with center lock wheels unless you have all the fancy equipment yourself.

Had a similar problem with our Mazda after a tire shop over torqued the nuts and stripped the locks. Mazda dealer had them off in 20 min for $20.
