I used to have one of the diskloks on my old Impreza, back in the day when thefts were on the up.
On one hand I wish I'd kept hold of it, on the other, I'm not sure where I'd stow it whilst driving.
I did also have a device back then called a barrier deadlock I think, which was a device that was welded into the drive tunnel and caused an obstruction with the gear lever. You'd park up, put the car in reverse, then push the latching bolt in. It had a specially designed key to unlock it, otherwise the car was stuck in reverse and was allegedly very difficult to drill out. Not sure if they're still available or whether people would want to go to such trouble. The problem with it was that it wasn't a visual deterrent, but certainly helped some people with potential thefts being thwarted.
I've got a Disklok (size small) on my Gen4 and it does give some reassurance having it fitted, but is a pain in the arse to store. Heavy, ungainly and clanky, drives me mad. I've got one of their storage bags which normally lies in the passenger footwell, but it has to get stashed behind my seat when it's a family trip.
Oh and don't spend the money on the Disklok branded cover to protect the wheel, it's absolute garbage. I baby my stuff but it's already falling apart.

Exactly the same reason I dont have one on my MG Midget. I chose the StoplLock Pro Elite but even that sn't great. I'm now eying the
Milenco Lock
I noticed this is used by owners of expensive classics where both cockpit space and storage space is restricted

Hi Max,
But isn't this easily disabled by sawing through the steering wheel in 2 places?
