Anti Theft Rims
with wheel locks does it mean it is impossible to steal?
also, what if i add two sets of different brand wheel locks, overkill? |

Re: Anti Theft Rims
Wheel locks don't mean it's impossible to steal, they are more of a deterant(i think that's the word) 2 different locks isn't really any better. If they really want your wheels, they'll get 'em even if it means taking your whole car.
All wheel lock companies have a master set available to repair shops, dealers, etc. Pretty much anyone can get their hands on a set. Thiefs can also use a hammer & chisel to remove wheel locks, its a matter of minutes. We had a customer bring a car in with 4 different wheel locks & no keys. To remove them we took a 19mm socket & welded a pieces of steel across inside. Then grooved the wheel lock to match ghetto fab socket, removed all 16 in less than 15 min. |

Im doubting anyone in my area can steal my rims without getting a framing hammer upside thier head. I have an Autopage 750LCD with extra features and two way Lcd remote. My suggestion would be to get an expensive alarm something similar to what I have. I set mine in silent so that the siren never goes off. It beeps on my remote when the alarm is triggered so that I can sneak out and bash em.

Re: Anti Theft Rims
didn't know they were that easy to steal. I'd like the pager alarms, sounds very good.
Also I remember on the news an some guys were breaking into a car and the owner shot killed one of them. The owner went to jail because they were unarmed. sad story. |

Re: Anti Theft Rims
yeah.....whats up with crap like that....you go to jail for protecting what you work sooo hard for.....i hate the laws in that aspect. and if they do get caught, all they get is a slap on the wrist and they go and do it again. I say we go old skool and cut one of they arms/hand/something off so they wont do shit like that ever again. and i agree with jackassi...if they really want your car, they'll find a way to take it man.

Re: Anti Theft Rims
If you do shoot a thieve make sure he is dead. He can press charges on you. Plus once he is shot drag him in the house!

Re: Anti Theft Rims
here's over kill = I have 4 different sets of wheel locks on each. and you cant find them at retail stores, only special oder through dealer ships. the only major thing is, if i loose any keys, its a pain to re order a new one, can be done becase these are dealer/ major manufactor based kits. :-}
