Some good points made; it is a pain to change the wheels and not have the car fall down or get it high enough. Not sure a thief cares though.
I've had wheels stolen though; has nobody hear been to Liverpool in the early 1990's. You just had to wait for a red traffic light and they would steal the wheels of you car   In all seriousness though, it was a real problem. I've found my rental car on bricks in a hotel car park in the Halewood area. I couldn't get the usual hotel which had full metal gates around the car park.
But nowadays wheels are even more valuable; £4K for a set is not unusual at all. So yes, mine have nice black lug nuts with locking nuts. I replaced the  that is standard from Land Rover as I too had lug nuts that grown in size and become inoperable without brute force and ruin them.
BTW I really dislike the way Land Rover attaches the wheels, just do what nearly any other manufacturer does. It is a stupid system in my opinion.
