Keep a close eye on craigslist. Should be easier to find someone trying to get rid of two instead of a full set, unless they found more to complete the set.
Also, wheel locks don't really do ****. You can easily smack a regular socket onto them and take them off. If they were trying to be quiet, it may be more of a deterrent, but they could always use a deadblow or something to be quiet. Best idea would be to get a good alarm with a level sensor that'd go off.

Pennsylvania
On Tuesday, June 28, 2011, Pennsylvania (PA) Governor Tom Corbitt (R) signed a bill extending that state's traditional castle doctrine protections to assaults outside the home. The new legislation passed both houses with overwhelming support and expands the state’s castle doctrine and stand-your-ground protections to allow the right to use a gun or other deadly force in self-defense in situations outside a person’s home or business.[28] It applies when "deadly force is immediately necessary to protect [...] against death, serious bodily injury, kidnapping or sexual intercourse compelled by force or threat".[29]
It explicitly denies a duty to retreat and provides legislative protection from civil actions resulting from the use of deadly force in acts of self-defense. The PA General Assembly found that:
(1) It is proper for law-abiding people to protect themselves, their families and others from intruders and attackers without fear of prosecution or civil action for acting in defense of themselves and others.
(2) The Castle Doctrine is a common law doctrine of ancient origins which declares that a home is a person's castle.
(3) Section 21 of Article I of the Constitution of Pennsylvania guarantees that the "right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned."
(4) Persons residing in or visiting this Commonwealth have a right to expect to remain unmolested within their homes or vehicles.
(5) No person should be required to surrender his or her personal safety to a criminal, nor should a person be required to needlessly retreat in the face of intrusion or attack outside the person's home or vehicle.[29]
While the findings specifically mention a defendant's home or vehicle, the amendments to state code enumerated by this legislation extend to any place that a person has a legal right to be, with a few notable exceptions (such as inside a prison).

You just have to be concerned about your families well being, my house is not visible from anywhere but above and if you get to my house you have passed numerous signs telling you to get out. My ***** inside, so now you have to break in and I feel threatened...... Below applies to PA.

If the vehicle is inside your garage then i agree it's a different situation since they are breaking into your home but still believe you are going to have to do a pretty good job of proving your life was in danger. I am not saying I agree with someone stealing or breaking in to a home or that I am trying to defend a crook but I find it hard to believe that a court is going to rule in favor of a dead guy in your garage just cause he was trying to seal a set of rims.
Now if he attacks you with a lug wrench or something of that nature it's a completely different story but I would imagine most people would take off running if they heard something or thought someone was coming.
I am all for self defense and protecting my family but I won't shoot some petty thief cause he wanted the 20's on my truck.
