Poll: Locks or not?

At one point there was a poll option... I guess its gone now.
Anyways... just answer the question.

I used to have them for over 2 years and through several tire rotations, but after I had my tires rotated this one time, the locks caused my steering wheel to vibrate at highway speeds. Took me 3 months of frustration to figure out that the shaking was due to those stupid locks (McGard btw).

Have no clue why it started then all of a sudden ... so now I'm running without locks.

Not on my street wheels, I modified the centercaps to lock (Some punk kids stole my caps a few years ago)

on my race wheels... I have a set of Kyokugen locking lugs....
I know people have had problems with these, but I've had them on and off the car about 30 times this year alone and Havent had a problem. (Most people Greatly over Torque the lugs which is probably the caues of the problems)
