Theft prevention - wheels?

**brandonek1** · 03-09-2010 10:35 AM

Hey guys, i've heard stories about people finding their cars sitting on bricks and stuff like that and i was just wondering if there's really anyway of preventing you're wheels getting stolen. Those nuts that you need the special slip on bolt bit (not sure what they are called) seem like the obvious solution but i've heard you can get master keys for them anyway..

so is there really any way of stopping people from stealing your wheels apart from parking in a garage/having shit wheels that nobody wants

cheers

fill the hole with super glue

Get these lol

but even if you get locknuts, your wheels can still get stolen if they snap off the bolt the locknut is attached too.

Alarm tilt sensor is a plus too.

lol if the blokes who are trying to steal the wheels are smart enough and want them that bad they will take them one way or another, just try your luck, but as flipfire said the alarm tilt sensor will help because theres no way they would stay if the alarm is going off

if your parking outside on the street, come as close to the gutter as possible , come in by full locking the wheel to the gutter, and get locknuts if you can

it'll just be a huge pain to jack up the side of the car next to the gutter, there wont be enough room to fit a jack between the kerb and your car

they can jack up the other side then go underneath n jack the otherside up, like whats been said, if they want them bad enough, they'll take them

^ lol thieves dont use those little scissor jacks that come with the car. They take forever to use.

They just get the big hydraulic floor jacks and raise it from the front and then brick stands.

Buy my work vs-ss wheels

.

These rims require special inverted lug nuts, as the stud hole is smaller than a normal rim. They also come stock with the addon that is required to remove the nuts.
