Yes! There are special lug nuts called 'wheel locks', they have a unique shaped 'pattern' with a special tool (key) you attach to your regular wrench when you want to tighten/loosen or remove them.
Ask your wheel dealer, they'll know!

I feel you man and everyone is right but the fact remains that if someone wants your property they will get it.
As for the wheel locks just keep an eye on them because they are so easy to remove and they reason I know this is because I am in the automotive business and I have to remove these locks due to either the customer loosing the key or that the lock is stripped.

Well they sell rims that come with a special key so only you can take'em off but its still not 100% steal proof and if they want'em bad enough they'll just take your car. My advice install a sensitive alarm and have a baseball bat prepared.

If you do get the locks, just keep a good eye on them. They tend to get buggerd up real quick. I would replace the key once a year and the locks every 2 if you rotate your tires when you should.

Dsclimb is precisely precise yet drilling into the nut with the wheel on may well be previous somebody and not using a smart volume of skill, simply by region and accuracy needed "destroy the wheel off"????!! do no longer pass away your motor vehicle with the human beings who stated that. can no longer you get a substitute key? that would shop an excellent style of grief, do no longer overlook the secret is for all 4 wheels.

Yes, you can probably get them the same place you get the rims. There are many different types.

you can buy locking lug nuts
buy more than one set
if you are real unsecure with one set
yet they could still steal the car or damage it
just the same
so you can't win
