Got rid of my locking nuts on all my porsches after a flat on a trip and no socket for the locking nuts. I normally do not drive in places to worry about theft and anyway I have insurance so I don't need the hassel of keeping up with another tool for each car.

Replaced all 20 with wheel studs
Wheel changes are much faster, and no worries about dropping the wheel on the brake calipers.

Got rid of mine last spring. Now I have to paint the other 16 to match.

One of the first things I did was get rid of those things. I've got OEM wheels and no one out there wants them -- thank goodness.
