Wheel security

I have some nice & expensive 7s and 9s Fuchs on my 911. The car is going to be my 'daily driver' so Im a little concerned about the possibility of theft of the wheels.

Anybody using locking lugs...? Are they a waste of $ and do no good?

If car thieves are going to steal your Fuchs, they're going to take the whole car. There are far too many more attractive wheels out there on the street that unless they're Porsche owners themselves Most thieves aren't interested in Fuchs that fit only VW and Porsches. Locking lugnuts are a PITA because you have to track the location of the key each time you have your car serviced. Lost keys usually results in pneumatic chisel work on the lock nut on your Fuchs.
