If you are using the original lug bolts, I believe you already have wheel locks?

But then again, the other day I was at the Parts dept. at the dealership, a guy came in and was talking about getting an alarm because his wheels got stolen twice, even with the OEM wheel locks on them.

I am pretty sure factory wheels don't come with OEM wheel locks. The easiest way to check is if you see one of the wheel lug is different than the rest of them.

Strange, mine came with them. I didn't notice until I was waiting to get my new wheels installed, then noticed the tool kit actually has a space for the wheel lock key in the trunk.

the OEM wheel locks are pretty useless to determined theives who want to steal your wheels, ive heard many stories about people who got their wheels stolen and they had the OEM wheel locks...
