Congrats Dave! 
Also - unless they really want your wheels, they're not going to mess with your locks. With either the removal tool ($19.99 at Pep Boys) or a standard 12-point socket, you have to hammer that thing on there tight with a mallet. Its loud as hell and takes a while.
My brother recently had a lock on so tight that the McGard key broke (stupid a$$ mechanic put it on with an impact wrench). Anyway, we had to bang a socket on there with a heavy mallet to get it off. It took about 6-7 minutes and the hammering was so loud I thought my neighbors would have a fit!
Anyway, if you have an alarm and are parked in a populated neighborhood, I don't think theives are going to put in 20+ minutes of time + hell-raising noise levels to boost some stock wheels.
Just my $0.02
