Maybe this had been discussed but haven't seen any past threads as yet--Am concerned with those nice wheels being so easily removed without permission---anyway to put any locking hardware on them? Is anyone else as worried ?

Not really worried here... Just ain't takin' "my ride" into the ghetto. Otherwise, I don't see anyone trying to take 'em. Who would put those kinda rims on anything else? It'd be SO obvious, especially with the center caps.

PS: Tip to detur the theives if you are worried, always turn your wheel all the way to one side or the other. Makes it a ***** (if not impossible) to get the fronts off, which who would only want two rims?

I have seen posts here about wheel locks. I think it was McGuard that was mentioned?

Sema Show had wheel locks that had seration sided lug nuts. Could be useful if they had special lug key for each set.

I used the part number 03 Merc refers to in the link at my local Ford dealer...they had them in stock...about $40...they are slightly longer than the factory MM lugs, but they fit fine. As he says, you send the card to McGard...
