Default New wheels

I got some bbs rxs should I put some locknuts on them. A guy said that they strip and if someone wanted my wheels enough then they would get them, or my whole car.

What do you guys think
locknuts or not

Default you mean wheel locks?

if you got a good set, it'll definitely deter a lot of theft, or at the very least slow them down a whole lot. if somebody is a professional at stealing wheels, and he really wants your rx's, he'll get them. but i havent heard of them stripping. i'd keep them
