Would this be stupid...
I was wondering since I have OEM wheels and can't seem to find a definitive answer to which after market wheel locks would work on them, could I replace all the lugs with 5 different sets of OEM wheel locks?
I know it will not stop them but it may deter them...
Just wondering if doing this would be safe from a driving point of view.

Safe, but pain to change a wheel. But maybe that makes it better for theft. Not a real cheap option. Is theft of OEM wheels a problem in your area?

From what i read on here, no aftermarket lugs will work with the OEM wheels. The stock lugs have a wider base that support the stock wheel, so thats the only way to go.
I would just change one or two of the lugs to oem locks, i think that will be deterrent enough?

No problem in my area, but then again I never leave it out overnight, but there is always a possiblity of leaving it out else where.
Thanks for the responses, I did not know if it would be safe to drive using all wheel lock. Guess I'll bit the bullet and get a few more sets.

If the purpose of you doing that is solely to deter thieves, I'd get aftermarket alarm instead.
