Does everyone roll with locked lugs?

The guy before me just had regular lug nuts on it. Most of the caps popped off so removing these things will certainly be a trek.

Does everyone here roll with locking lug nuts or not? I was thinking of just ordering a set of http://www.jcwhitney.com/chrome-bulge-lug-nut-and-lock-wheel-installation-kits/p2025852.jcwx#.

Just have stock rims w/ grabbers.

I put in an order at Discount Tire the other day for some Cragar soft 8s, and paid another $30 for a lug set for them. I didn't even think to ask, but i'm hoping they come with a locking lug. I have to wait til I get a phone call saying they've arrived before I can get em -___-

I personally like to have a lock per wheel. I have enough money into tires and wheels that I prefer a little extra protection. They won't totally prevent the possibility, but it will take extra time to jimmy them off which I think will at least deter the average DB that might want to take them.
Whatever you do, get solid lug nuts so that dang cap-popping-off thing is but a memory

I don't have them, but I'll consider them once I spend a ton on rims and tires. I don't really live in a shady neighborhood, nor a swanky hood where people might go "car shopping" So I'm not too worried. I have insurance for a reason, and I don't plan on ever hitting anyone. ;]
