I just ordered some 5zigen fno1r-c's. Should I get locking wheel lugs? How well do they work? Are they worth the trouble?

If so, are there any brands you'd recommend? I know tirerack sells McGard's.

Any theif who is serious about it can get your wheels off. Locking hardware will discourage the small-time thugs but will only slow them down. Still, they are better than nothing.

lol locking nuts are kinda a joke, all you have to do is take an slightly undersized normal socket and hammer it on, it'll crack and form a nice pattern to it. (my friend lost his key to his once, worked really well, and fast) Like grant said, if they want your wheels, they are gonna get em. use an etching tool and put your Driver Licence # on the inside lip, better than nothing.
