My Grand Cherokee came with a set of wheel locks in the glove box but the inner part of the key that would actually engage with the lock was totally sheered off. That would be mildly annoying during a tire rotation but a real problem if it happened when you got a flat.
I do use it as a theft deterrent by putting one on just hand tight when I've got my spare tire on the rear tire carrier but I'd never use them on the actual wheels.

Who steals OEM wheels anymore? Maybe if they're special and high end... but for a Subaru? Nay

I hadn't heard of wheel theft in forever but a few GR Corollas in the US have had theirs stolen. I think it's more of a US problem in general but idk.
