Wheels and wheel locks

Anybody ever had their wheels stolen? I just bought a 2005 Harley and was thinking locks would probably be a good idea. Any thoughts or opinions? Thanks.

Yes, and a good car alarm is a good idea, too.

I had them for years on my other trucks. One thing is to look for ones that can take torque when tightening. Alot of them have a shallow wavy design that is easy to round out. A deeper design would be best. AND DONT LOSE THE SPECIAL WHEEL KEY!!!!! OR FORGET TO GIVE IT TO THE DEALER WHEN YOU TRADE YOUR VEHICLE LIKE I DID....OOPS! The reason was it does not make sence to keep the lug key in the vehicle due to someone breaking in and stealing it from the glove box........OR if you get a flat.....then what......

just some issues I had with them, so I don't use them any more......If the steal the factory aluminum.....Ebay....set of 4 $250
