Not very safe to have 5 locking lugs for each stud.
Reasons.....


Some you cannot torque enough due to shitty design
It's a PITA to get 5 keys X 5 lugs X 4 wheels (do the math)
You'll piss off service guys and in turn charge you more money to remove them.
And if you loose a key or strip a locking lug, your still fubar'd.

Gorilla is the way to go in locks, whats 50 bucks or less for a set of your pricey ass wheels anyway right??

BTW, if they wanna steal it, they'll steal it, locks or not. Just the locks slow them down. I have a master set that removes EVERY lock they make to date, cost me like 80 bucks from Matco, I have not had one yet that I cannot remove.
People loose locking keys all the time.
