Thoughts on putting massive padlocks on car wheels for security

I don't see any conversation around this as a deterrent for theft. Since my wheel spokes can accommodate this, I'm seriously considering putting a Squire SS80S padlock on each wheel. They could still steal the wheels, but it would be nearly impossible for them to remove the padlocks unless they were expert lock pickers. What're your thoughts? Do you think a thief would move on if they saw this?

I had some wheels stolen (not from the car) and it got me thinking about this.
 
An angle grinder or plasma cutter would likely cut the shackles right off. Nobody would waste their time picking the locks.
They would pull the wheels off and cut the shackles off at their leisure while at another location.
