thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 
i would like to have an armed gaurd on duty watching my car 24/7, but i cant afford that. my car gets parked out side at night. got an alarm and ----, its always parked within ear/eye shot of my front door and windows, but damn if i spend money on rims i want to see them on my car everymorning when i go to work (need something too look forward to ::))...

ideas? or just keep my gay stock 89 Si wheels?

Try some locking lugs. Or maybe get a car cover like in that kia commercial.

you can't not get rims because you don't want them to get jacked, just get them and use your alarm.

i love that kia commercial ;D

LOL, that commercial owneded.

Locking lugs is a good idea. I'd keep with the stock rims (because im cheap like that), but MR7's look really good in my opinion. It's all up to you though man.

jb weld a shotgun shell to each rim...


locking lug nuts help...then install a fuel pump switch so they can't jack the whole car...

I just live in a red neck chicken ---- mother fucker neighborhood so my rims aren't very likely to get jacked, that's my security.

Buy 4 sets of those lugnuts that take a special key. Make sure every set of 4 uses a different key, then use 1 lugnut from each pack of 4 on each wheel.

It will be a pain in the ass when you want to take them off because you'll need 4 different keys to remove 1 wheel, but the chance that a thief has all 4 kinds of keys, alot less than regular lugs.
