Locking lug nuts

Do you guys use these?
I did on my previous C6, Z06 but have not installed on the new one.
Its a summer daily driver around Minneapolis. I do get out of state some on over night trips and it would be parked at hotels.

Any thoughts?

Many discussions on these in the General section.
Bottom line: Thieves have tools to remove them

They are easily defeated by crooks but not so easily defeated when you need to remove the wheel and you can't find the key.

I would say better than not having them at all. Cost is minimum.

BobsZ is correct, with only one on per wheel can snap off, so put 2 per wheel opposite each. teddie

Being the one to have actually had my wheels stolen I put 20 locks on mine! The other nice benefit is you can get black lug nuts if you have black wheels.
