Park indoors.
Park yourself closer to the house.
keyed lugs.
Have an alarm on the car. (steeling wheels causes motion)

If you have an alarm the wheels should be prety safe. The lugs that take a specific key to take them off will help as a deterant.

well then there is nothing else you can do really. They won't be able to get the wheels if the alarm is on, and the keyed lugs are there.

Just get 4 sets mang. That way it will take even you an hour to change your wheels.

scratch the ---- out of them and then paint them ----- pink! ;D


but alarms do work tho... nobody likes to ---- w/ a car if they see a lil' blinking light on the dashboard.

haha, I say get a couple different wheel locks. Get wierd ones, though so it'd be a little harder.

best way to not get wheels stolen, is if you are in an area that ---- gets stolen, dont buy wheels till you move out the hood, nig.

How do you get wheel locks when you have ARP 3" studs?

I need them for the backspacing on my slicks.

i think they have open ended specialty lugs.

wheel locks and alarm ;)

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
if i am REALLY concern about my rims(which i don`t :P) i would get 4 different set of keyed lugs, split each set on each corner.
so all 4 lugs will be different.
but that only helps if they are going to take ur rims out at ur parking spot.

FooK 01-28-2005 11:48 AM

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
get 4 sets of DIFFERENT WHEEL LOCKS

Put one of each type on each wheel. It will take them 4 wheel keys to get one wheel off.

Chance that wheel theif will have all 4 lock keys? low.

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
i think they will just break the locks, doubt they carry a shiload of keys...


well night one is finished....still have my wheels... but no one has seen them on my car yet... :-\ now off to the car wash (damn my ---- is dirty) and to the tire store (two new tires and some locks)...

turbohf 01-28-2005 12:45 PM

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
if some1 really wants your rims they are gonna get them no matter what, but different keys for each wheel would make them move on

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
if its that serious just leave your car on bricks everynight.alarms and wheel locks may work but if they really wanted it they could get it alot of thevs out have tow trucks and they do use them if all else fails get a nice glock 9 ;D

if they have a problem getting your wheels where it sits, they will take the whole car.

highly doubt they will get the whole car...


got a set of wheel locks...but i guess the wheels will come off soon anyway...i didnt really buy them for the CRX, there for the GTI, the CRX has 2 brand new Azenis and 2 50%+ Azenis... the GTI gets the garage.. the wheels the CRX needs will have 25" M&H's on them ;)

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
If you really wanna get crafty, get 16 different wheel locks and carry a toolbox around with all the keys in it. haha

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
i suggest that you lay a couple strategicly placed tack welds ;D

RabbitShit 01-29-2005 01:55 AM

Re:how to stop my wheels from being stolen???
 
Accepting that they're GOING to get stolen would be a start.

Get an alarm with a pager and a paintball gun. Someone fucks with it, it'll wake you up. Your car is an easy shot from the hall window.

This is why my new Jetta will have 16x9 steelies ;D

Seriously, I think we need harsher penalties for theives who get caught. Something needs to happen.

I'm just glad I don't live in an area where I have to worry about my rims getting stolen. Plus, my car gets parked in the garage.
It sucks that you can't have nice things without having to worry about shitbag mother fuckers who can't work for their own ----. I hate people. >:(
