I just don't see the big deal is. It's very helpful to have anti-theft lug nuts/bolts.

As a deterrent Yes - prevention - no.
But the real question is what is the likelyhood someone will steal these wheels? I'm with Davev on this one.
Using an impact wrench on these is a big no no. You will crack the socket. I already know that from experience. Once you crack this socket there's no turning back. You have to remove all of them which I did on one of my cars. With it a bunch of scracthes in the lug hole where they used their tool to remove it.
I've never heard of anyone on Porsche forums having their wheels stolen and I'm on several forums and a 20+ years of Porsche ownership. I've heard of their car being stolen but not just the wheels.
It's only my opinion.
