Worst case scenario is that if you lose the key you can get a nut welded to the lock and get it off.

Wheel locks in my experience have always proven more trouble than they're worth, be it on my car or one I'm working on.

Even if I tape the key inside the glovebox, it wears out prematurely & I have to destroy a socket getting them off, either that or it fails to engage when applying final torque.

Figured I'd add that the first set looks pretty east to remove, the second set....yeesh that price.

It might take ten minutes even with not much experience but I bet those locks are easily defeatable. To get around the special socket once you pop the lock out, a hammer & chisel will get it spinning fast.

I won't give away the details but I can get a "club lock" off of a steering wheel in thirty seconds without any cutting or damage to the vehicle.

 

But if you're *still* dead set on one of those, look up "the lockpicking lawyer",  see what he rates as worthy.
