In my apartment there have been alot of recent thefts of the wheels off of some of the cars. At this point i'm getting pretty worried about it because I am planning on picking up my MR soon as it gets in (hopefully within the next week). I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as for wheel lock suggestions or possible recommendations for beefing up my security. It would'nt be that bad except the damn apartment building is not doing much to help the residents with keeping their cars safe. Anyway any input would be appreciated.

 

our cars come with wheel locks

 

well i hope so cuz i know the BBS wheels aren't cheap I have full coverage insurance but i don't wanna be stranded in the morning

 

another thing i want to go ahead and buy some gorilla locks for the X but i was wondering if anyone knew the bolt specs ie 12 x 1.25, 12 x 1.50, 14 x 1.25, 14 x 1.50 etc. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

check these out seem to be pretty effective http://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla.guard.locks

 

Tell me how they work!

 

its just like a wheel lock but it has a sleeve on it that spins freely so that you can't put one of those tapered wheel lock removers on it. The key fits between the sleeve and the actual nut itself that way they are extremely hard to get off without the key

 

So I guess all we need to know now is the bolt pattern

 

you can get a good alarm with a tilt sensor. If the car is jacked up at all the alarm will go off. If there just after tires the alarm should scare them off

 

My Evo X GSR did not come with Wheel Locks from the factory. I purchased them separate.

Someone I know is replacing all the wheel lugs with locks.

You could just get a good alarm.

I've doubled my locks up with McGard Locks in addition to the Manufacturer's locks. So that's 8 locks thieves will have to go through to get my shoes.

 

gorilla locks are not good. they make six locks with keys it not hard at all for them to find the one that will match you Evo. Go to Benz, BMW or other, no one will think of it.

 

I was going to mention that too. Plus their chrome plating chips over time. I'd go with McGard.
