Do they come with the big 'steal me' sign

Nice touch, but will last a month if you're lucky.

Ive got a set of those Audi ones and never used them yet but the Khan ones that came with my wheels were stolen twice and they are £20 a set.
Khan felt so sorry for me they sent me 2 sets for the price of one last time.
Ive bought locking spinners now so you need a key to get them off. its a PIA when you check your tyre pressures though.
