ARE WHEEL LOCKS AN ESSENTIAL ON YOUR GENESIS??

No. I removed mine and put the normal lug nuts back on.

Depends on where you park. Don't have them but my car is in the garage at night. In some areas, they could be a deterrent.

You have Lug Nuts?? Do all G70’s use Lug Nuts?

My 2021 G80 uses Lug Bolts.
(I like Lug Nuts better).

Mine came with the locks and I removed them. I bought aftermarket wheels that require an adaptor for the wrench so same as locks, sort of.

My 2018 G80 has lug nuts, not bolts. I can't speak for G70s, or for other years.

My 2021 G80 has Lug Bolts, just like my former Alfa and former Mercedes. Although they provide a “positioning bolt” for changing wheels, it’s a pain to have to open trunk to get the positioning bolt out just to rotate tires. Without using the positioning bolt, very difficult to mount a wheel. Glad to see that your G70’s use Lug Nuts, not Lug Bolts.

You keep saying that, but as I said, I can't say anything about the G70. I don't have one. I have a G80. Apparently, the G80 went from lug nuts to lug bolts sometime after 2018. For all I know, the G70 did too.
