get the kyokugen heptagon lug nuts...7 sided lug nuts which require a key...in conjunction with regular lock nuts should protect you as well as could be expected...they're about $60-65 for the set.

I have those lugs. They are suppose to be light weight too. Also, take pictures of the rims on your car and send them to your insurance company. Thats what the guy told me when I bought my rims, for insurance purposes.

thanks for your help. Is there any way to purchase insurance for foglights/rims? If there is, can you guys let me know some of the cheaper ones. Thanks

Jimster those lugs that you mentioned where can you buy them. This weekend I just got my 19's installed and I am trying to find the open end acorn style lug locks 12mm x 1.50mm. The local auto stores don't have these sets but after you mentioned those lug locks sounds much better. Let me know...
