I would suggest installing some spline drive lock lugs. Then the thiefs have to struggle a bit more with 25 lugs vs 4, might make the difference, time wise, maybe they won't hassle that.... sorry for your troubles

 

I wouldn't bother with more than one set of locks, but you can engrave your wheels with your vin or other unique marking with a Dremel tool. If getting a new set of rims, put the engraving on the inside before you have the tire mounted and balanced. When I had my stock wheels painted and snows mounted, I had this done, my shop charged me $70, and did it for $50 on my after-market set up.

 

thats sucks...but wheel locks are pointless..just park in the garage and no worries..

 

I would like to suggest that you "engrave" the VIN on the back of the wheel. I know someone that had the VIN "etched" in the windows of his new IPL as a safety measure.

 

tpms are not registered to your car/vin. they are on a radio frequency. you can mix & match all you want with these cars, as long as the frequency is the same.

 

any opinions on which is the best wheel lock? mcgard gorilla? yes, i know they can still be taken off.

 

forget wheel locks. every company sells master keys.

shock/tilt sensors!!!!

 

dude. still can't send you PMs or anything. shoot me your email, fix it or something.

 

ok now its fixed lol.
Sorry had it set to emails only from admins

 

Sure you can tell....
If the tpms match up to your car. Just drive on over to his house and check them out

 

Dont know where you got your information but that's completely wrong. Each TPMS has a unique code that is stored in the car's BCM. That's why people have to run to the dealership to get their wheels registered when they switch wheels.

 

A lot of people don't have garage in the city.

 

That sucks! ...

I was paranoid about wheels locks when I got my set of rims (even though I don't live in NY). I ended up ordering Gorilla spline locks (set of 20 lugs) and also got McGard (4 lugs locks). It seems like Gorilla spline locks has a pretty unique patterns for each locks that it has ID number, if you need to order replacement socket. Of course this would not stop anyone who are determined to get your wheels, but sure does give them hell trying to pry it loose.

 

Places I am parking you could leave G with key in ignition and no one will touch it. It is horrible, where is this?

 

Sucks! Sorry about your misfortune
