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?

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

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

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

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

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

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.

Weld on your lug nutz ;D

buy 4 police boots

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

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...

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

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.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

Who the ---- would want to steal rusted steelies anyways?

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

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.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

maybe you should open your ------- eyes and see that he has a pair of black rota's. ........... i think :P

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

it was a joke.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

Get spine lug nuts cause ain't noting taking those off unless you have that socket for it. Those supposed Locking lucks that need specials keys are useless cause if you just get a big enough allen wrench then they can get them off. Spines ownz.

they're nippon racing f-2s, I got quoted 720 for them from a local shop and I got them for 375 on ebay.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

Haha yeah right, i lost my key to mine and i went to "america's Tire Company" and paid $3.65 for a new one. so there went that idea.

in response of how to keep your wheels from getting jacked, there is no absolute way, i mean damn i have a mac set of key removal sockets that can take off any lock (they arent cheap so theifs cant afford em :) ) but there is a company called Godzilla (or maybe it was Gorilla) that makes one set of locking lugs and if you lose the key you have to wait for them to make you a new one. (they are a bitch to get off too when the customer "loses their key" for the wheels).

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

I've seen those gorilla wheel locks before, I found one of the lug nuts in the street when I was in 5th grade.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

no matter how much you try to keep your ----, if they want it bad enough they will get it. just for security, call the cops at least 2 times a week saying you chased someone off your car in the middle of the night, they will make your house or neighborhood a regular round.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

here in south fla, si stocks will come up missing b4 rims do

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

I have wheel locks on my Bimmer that require an actual key, that goes into an actual keyhole on the lug. if you try to turn the wheel lock to undo the bolt, it just spins until you take the lock off. You could try some ---- like that... maybe at a BMW dealership, or maybe they have them at www.bmpd.com

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

bmws can do that cuz they use bolts rather than the typical stud/nut setup on their wheels, us honda boyz are not as fortunate

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

those lug locks are useless, you can just slam a 12pt socket on them w/ a hammer and they'll come off. same w/ spline drive.

if you don't take your wheels off too often, put a spot weld on the end of one wheelstud per wheel, just big enough so you can't threads the lug nut off. (use open ended lugnuts) then when you need to get the wheel off, just file it off, or dremel it, or angle grind it, or whatever.

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
 

hey that's cool, I could probably use that for my car, but eh, 40 dollas is a lot right now. :-\

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?

Re:thinking about buying wheels.....how do i keep them?
