Man...all this talk about g's getting their rims stolen is freaking me out....
It seems to have become a problem. However, both cases the wheels didn't have wheel locks...but still, just the thought of g's being a target. I'll need to consult my friend and see what I can do to deter this on my car since I park outside.

I think the trick to make them think you have an aftermarket alarm. I'm sure they're not going to waste time to test your bluff and would just move to your neighbor's car
. Perhap adding a blinking blue LED of some sort. Might just be me, but I think that would deter some since they are simply looking for a quick job. Shock and tilt sensor might not be a bad idea, to catch them off guard incase they bump the tire while removing. I got a shock sensor to add onto factory alarm but haven't install yet. I'm sure if they really want your stuff, they'll steal at all cost. But would they risk the trouble if they can get what they need from a car that appear less armed? of course not.~Khoa

The locks are fine (good idea), but consider the trouble you will go thru if you get a flat on the highway in the middle of nowhere. 
You'll have to take out the key for every single lug and risking the possiblity of getting run over by some other commuter.
