Living in the Bay as well, you sir are a brave man for not running locking lugs. I know you can still pop off the locking lugs, (granted it takes a good amount of time if you run 5 on each wheel and makes a complete racket in the process of removal) but it would be a shame to lose those wheels in under 5 minutes with normal lugs.
Call me old school or a dinosaur because I just can't seem to get into this look/style. Any reason why you don't run the correct size tire for the wheel?
DPE sure does make some sexy wheels!

thanks man
Ok old school dinosaur. (just messin) 
But to simply answer your question as to why I don't run the suggested tire size is because I don't want to. This style is understandably not for everyone. I'm not crazy about it, but I like it for now. Lock or no locks, if someone wants your wheels bad enough they'll find a way.
