i personally dont see a reason why not to have them.. just leave the key in the glovebox or somewhere else where it cannot get misplaced and its not that big of a deal..

TRD lugnut set $300! There you go dude! lol...
I keep a tool bag in my car and my wheel lock is in there and some basic tools, flashlight, etc. Hell with my BBS wheels, I also need a special adapter to put air in the tire. Without it, I can't put air in.

Wheel locks are pretty cheap compared to how much your rims/tires/TIME is worth. I bought a set to put on my TT rims just for peace of mind that it may deter some bone head.
I mean it doesnt hurt! I do a lot of work on my car and using the key isn't that big of a hindrance on getting a job done either.
Earlier someone said it took them an extra 15 seconds to take off their wheel lock with a socket well that's' a whole minute when taking four off and that's a lot of time to a thief if you think about it. Even if they get my rims maybe that one minute will help catch their @$$
