Default wheel security

toss me some advice on ways of helping secure my wheels please.
i understand theives are now able to get around factory wheel locks. wether they are breaking them or just have a master key set as the dealer does, they are able to get pass wheel locks.
what are good types of wheel lock that are on the market?
anything out there other than the usual "special" designed lug lock?

thanks

for $200 you can buy 4 mini Lojack systems and stick them behind the center cap.

That will definitely make it more difficult for the thieves to steal your wheels but it wont deter the ones that are determined. You might also want to think about how annoying ti will be to remove your own wheels with multiple keys (and how much of a hard time your mechanic will have).

what kind of rims are you planning on protecting? hopefully, if you need that kind of security, they are a set of uber rare M7's or sumthin..
