Sorry about the loss, it looks like a clean steal with no dents or scratches. Why would anyone want stocks? It just doesn't make sense. When you get your new set of wheels, get locks and a tilt sensor. If the car senses one side is being lifted it will set the alarm off.

Not only that, but now, there are more cars with the lug pattern 5x114.3. Also, tires are expensive to replace.

Im definitely getting the wheel locks, gonna put on some cheapo ones for now until the project kics set comes in.

im thinking of going with clifford matrix 12 system, and adding the tilt and proximity sensors.

i really wanna do the install myself, anyone got a nice how-to thread for alarm install on Z ??

wheel locks are nice to have but they seriously only buy you a few more seconds, people that work at shops know how to take wheel locks off easily. they just get a lug nut and hammer it in. then your lock comes off.
