If my car didn't have locking nuts i'd be the same as Rich and Pow, i wouldn't bother. I think all my wheels apart from one have slight marks now from tyre fitters and the misses driving it 
The car is worth fuck all, never mind the wheels

never had any wheels stolen, but I dont think i'd ever run without locking wheel nuts.
new wheels and tyres would cost me over £1k so if I have locking wheel nuts for £40 and that deters them then Im all for it

One of the most simple designs to remove.
19/17mm socket, hammer it on, job done.
I used love it when customers lost the key for these ones, always used to get a tip for removing them.
I've historically lost every single key I've ever had actually, come to think of it, I can't picture where the ones for these is either lol... maybe it's for the best that they're easy to bodge off.

I still haven't bought any . Need to get some asap really . The new ford ones was a bitch to get off as they had a collar that spun round and there wasn't enough space to get a socket over them but I doubt they are same.
