Got a set of Ford puzzle nuts for £10 off Ebay. There's always an opportunist who'll have a go... won't stop the determined theif, but its a a minor deterrent.

Have never had them, and no one has ever stolen my wheels.
Of course, with all of you putting bigger wheels on each week, there must be a glut of standard sized emolas on the market, so I guess they aren't worth much biggrin
