Wheel Locks?

Hey guys. I just bought some wheels last month. They are 17" Edge C7's. They are the tuner style...you know 10 holes for lugs. Anyway, after I bought them, I wanted to find out the best way to prevent someone from ripping them off. A friend of mine said wheel locks and a good alarm. So I went and had shock sensors added to the already factory theft deterrant alarm. Know if someone bumps into the car, it goes off. But I still want more security for the car. I went to Discount Tire and they looked at my wheels and said wheel locks aren't available for the "tuner" style wheel. Is this true? Or was the guy full of $hit? Thanks

That's what I thought too. I think the guy was feeding me a line of bull because I didn't buy the tires and wheels from them. I'm going to try some other places. Thanks
