depends on what wheel you have ordered, some wheels you cant see the nuts, you can buy caps which go over the end of the nut and mak eit look like a shiny new nut, which you normally get 4 of with wheel locking nuts so the potential thieve cant see what type of wheel locking nut you have got. get some of those.

No no no!! Locking nut's don't have the strength of "normal" nuts... Get latest spec nuts from VX, they're pennies, and nickel plated.
