Never considered this before, but here's an idea:

First of all, next time you have the tire dismounted, write your name on 
the inside of the wheel with a scriber or vibratory marker.

Second, what about drilling a hole through the ear of the knockoff and 
running a lock-wire through that and around a couple of spokes? I have 
seen these wires in bike shops and such, a strong braided wire of some 
sort with plastic tubing on the wire and a small, lightweight lock the 
wire locks into. Since it would be toward the middle of the wheel and 
doesn't weigh much, it shouldn't be a balance problem. Just a thought.

Maybe Moss will look into this possibility and come up with something 
better.
