Just for curiosity, those with 22" wheels, if those are part of a package there should be wheel locks included. Dealer forgot mine, different dealer forgot neighbors.
The only people wheel locks prevent getting the wheels off are the tires stores lol. Personally, i remove them and put a standard lug nut on.

Yep - they just make your nice ‘22s look ugly. If anyone wants your wheels, the cheesy OEM lock is the least of their worries in getting them off your rig.

They look just like the OEM Lug nuts, they are not the old style with a pattern at the top of the lug. The 6 sided part of the lug looks OEM, but it just spins, the key socket fits over it and the actual lock is at the bottom of the lug, can't see it all unless you look for it. I have always had them on my vehicles, never had an issue with getting them off, or with tire shops.

Photo of wheel lock. Very discreet.

It is. My point tho was anybody good enough to actually steel a set of wheels probly has every combination of wheel locks in his tool pouch…that thing is probly not gonna even hardly slow em down…but it will certainly completely screw the tire shop if you dont have it readily available for them…been there done that.

I live in an region where i dont have to worry about someone steeling my wheels off my vehicle anyway. I dont even lock my house or vehicle doors.
