Almost had my wheels stolen this weekend

Wheel locks are deterrent at best. 90% of the people that have them keep the key socket in the vehicle so all you need is an extra person to break into the vehicle while the others do the prep work.

So true, makes total sense, but you gotta hide it somewhere. Not in the glove box, center console or with the Jack, somewhere stealthy. Maybe under the Hood tucked in somewhere.

Under the floor behind the third row?

Only buy McGard - Made in USA

Out of town at a hotel and woke up to all 24 of my lug nuts on the ground next to my car. Apparently they couldn't get the factory 22"'s off of the car since I was parked so close to the curb. Now it's time that I buy some locking lug nuts to prevent this from happening again. Which one of these will work? Are any of the three superior to the other two?

What you want are the Gorilla X2 locking lugs. The head of the nut spins independent of the base so thieves can't just hammer a socket on there and spin it off. I put two different keyed sets on my wheels and never leave the keys in the car unless I'm in it.
So far I've had them on my Tahoe for a year and no theft even though weve had others stolen in my neighborhood. I've also taken two road trips to New Mwxico and Colorado where we stayed in hotels overnight.
Knocking on wood that I don't jinx myself now.

Go with the Gorrila Lugs. Have used them before and they hold up better than McGard.

Regardless, thieves are thieves. No deterrent is going to stop them. Pay your comp deductible and move on.
