Stock C7 2015 base model wheels
My stockers are cast aluminum with curb rash repairs, not worth stealing.

I wouldn't be too upset. Insurance can buy me some forgelines and new tires. 
That said, I don't park anywhere 99% of the time where I'd even be worried with the keys in the car.

He said "Wheel locks will only slow you down if you have a flat."
If you're not changing the tire alongside the road (using a spare), I can't figure out why another 30 seconds time to remove the lock when you remove the flat tire, would be an issue.
Can you explain for me?

Why would one be changing a run flat in the first place ?

That's the point. With a Corvette, you can either continue on the runflat or stop right there for a non-runflat.
So his statement that "Wheel locks will only slow you down if you have a flat" looks to be both incorrect (except in a NASCAR pit stop) and irrelevant.

Like the old saying, "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission." So I didn't.

Being a large volume dealer for custom forged aftermarket wheels we knew it was important to find a wheel lock company that could provide our clientele with the protection they needed.
Because of this we carry one and only one wheel lock company: Rimlox.
Rimlox manufactures a new wheel lock pattern & lock keys for EVERY new order that is placed. That means that no two customers receive the same pattern for their locks.
Rimlox (and ourselves) stand behind the product so much that if your wheels are ever stolen with these locks on then they will PAY for your new replacement set.
We have literally hundreds of customers with HRE's, Adv.1's, BBS, etc' driving around and parking their cars safely never having to worry about a situation where they find themselves left on bricks.
I personally have had a set of wheels stolen off my car from right outside my front door and your heart drop when you see that visual. Don't let it happen to you, PM me for more info.

Why not provide more information right here on the forum where everyone is looking? I'd like to see what the design looks like and why you consider it to be unique.
