i got 2 sets of locking nuts on mine- just to b xtra safe,
only problem with this is tho is that your wheels arent properly secured to your and and isnt really safe because the locking wheel nuts dont keep the wheel as close to the hub as the orignal screws...thats y it is advisable jsut to have 1 set on...even tho 2 sets makes more sense

sorry bout that mate, but.....
....locking Wheels nuts - they more of a deterrent than a preventative method. Well where i live they are anyway!
Round here, they use a special wrench that has like steel spring loaded prongs. As the wrench is placed against the nut, it forms perffectly to the shape and so the nut can be undone (kinda like those toys u got bout 10 year ago that was loaded with hundreds of metal pins and made a perfect shape around ur face, hand etc)
Ur wheels wouldnt be safe, even with 4 locking wheel nuts on each wheel. Takes em same amount of time to do the locking nuts, as it does the normal nuts with these new wrenches.

Also the grade of metal in locking bolts is not the same as ur original bolts and there for is not reliable or safe to have more than one locking bolt per wheel... Heard of bolts splitting b4 which is not good news if u got two per wheel
just my two pence wrth
anyways back to the subject soz mate just hope u catch the scum and F@ck them over big time

remember seeing a featue in Max about security, and they guy who was doing it said the locking nuts that have thr spinning outer cap are the best, and really hard to get off. This guy was some security expert who did this for a living!
