Wheel lock nuts- recommendations

Just bought a new set of wheels for my car. Looking to protect my assets. What kind of lock nuts are all of you using?

Thanks,
Anthony

Nuts or bolts? Do you have a wheel stud conversion kit installed?

The Kics above will not work, I would just use OEM lug bolts and locks. All locks are kinda the same deterrent to non-pro, waste of time and money vs the serious pro. That said I use them just to do what little I can to protect my wheels.

Does the car sit outside overnight? Do you park in a high crime are during the day without security? If the answer is no to these questions then I think locks are a waste of time and hassle... And more a deterrent to the owner than an unlikly thief.
