Tip #2: Get shock sensors, lower your car, and park on a soft surface (grass, dirt).

Chain your wheels to your shocks every night. That will deter them or at least slow them down.

Wow twin 120 's thats a lot of power puria.Can you convert that to horse power.LOL I didn't hear anything about this.If you spend 2000 and up on some rims why wouldn't you get some locks that is just dumb.I lived in the city i don't trust anyone.

I think the point is, if they really want your stuff, they'll get it. But I personally believe that having wheel lock and other deterence will help. I really think theif are smart enough to not want to go through the trouble to on a particular car/rims when they know the guy next door can be had with less effort. Also, the extra 30 second they spend at your car or the extra effort to find the right key for the locks, maybe all that it take for them to screw up or get caught. Just a thought.

Yeah of course if they really want it then they don't care about anything. But if you have locks in place of lugs then they wont' bother.

IMHO wheel locks only keep honest people honest. Anyone with half a brain can figure out how to get a wheel lock off. If you're going to go with wheel locks, get Gorilla wheel locks. I suspect that a shock alarm is your best bet.
