I wouldn't bother with more than one set of locks, but you can engrave your wheels with your vin or other unique marking with a Dremel tool. If getting a new set of rims, put the engraving on the inside before you have the tire mounted and balanced. When I had my stock wheels painted and snows mounted, I had this done, my shop charged me $70, and did it for $50 on my after-market set up.

That sucks! ...
I was paranoid about wheels locks when I got my set of rims (even though I don't live in NY). I ended up ordering Gorilla spline locks (set of 20 lugs) and also got McGard (4 lugs locks). It seems like Gorilla spline locks has a pretty unique patterns for each locks that it has ID number, if you need to order replacement socket. Of course this would not stop anyone who are determined to get your wheels, but sure does give them hell trying to pry it loose.
