Wheel locks are only a deterrent but they are better than nothing. I have always used them.

OEM locks are fine with the OEM wheels but you can get aftermarket wheel locks that are "tuner" style.

I've run gorilla before but am currently using "RAYS" carbon black lugs that has a key for one of the slotted nuts.

I say get em..... If you got Volks you don't want to run OEM nuts...

^^ RAY's comes with a key to unlock one of the lugs. One per wheel. Mine has a slotted nut that a 19mm will not fit over. It requires the key that is a mm bigger and slotted to fit over the lock nut.

Are all of the Ray's keys the same? What is to keep a punk thief from just carrying around a Ray's key to steal volks? It is easy to recognize the rims when they scope out the car, so it seems a very minor deterrent....if any.

Is there a true wheel lock that'll fit the aftermarket rims like the Volks?
