If you have (had?) center caps on rally wheels these doohickies might work....

I believe they mount under the caps, completely invisible. A thwarted thief might leave the cap dangling though, so any weird banging noises from a wheel might warrant a closer look.

The center caps are easily removable...so remove them and put them behind the seats till you get back. Then, pop 'em back on. (FREE and less trouble than locks....also, they might just get damaged when the a$$hole who tries to steal them gets frustrated.)
