Re: Anti Theft Rims
you people are silly, lol, if some one wants your rims and cant get them unscrewed guess whats next? your entire car! see if i was the person, i would just use a glass cutter, cut open your window... then hop in, bypass your car alarm (if u have one) then start your car, then i got new rims, exhaust, engine, tranny, chasis, and a whole lot more! eh, sorry for being an ass, just my 2 cents, i rather them steel my rims then jack my entire car, cuz i can just order some new ones

There's a certain risk-return ratio that you have to consider. Does the risk outweigh the return. Depends on who you ask. I'm sure rim theft is a much less serious charge than grand theft auto. Just depends on the theif. I think tilt sensors and wheel locks are better than nothing.

Point is:
If a person wants something on your car (anything really, your whole car included.) they can get it. Your car is never and will never be 100% protected. Deterrence is key.

Re: Anti Theft Rims
i dont mean to be an asswhole but wheel locks are pointless, well wait, which ones are u refering to? the inner ones? or the big sticks that go on the outside? cuz if its the big ones that go on the out side u can just unscrew the steering wheel, i dont steal cars my self but i have some friends that do so i know alot of the tricks, i would prefer to not live in jail

Re: Re: Anti Theft Rims
