please dont put wheel locks on every lug as some have mentioned here.. save your money as they're completely ineffective. not only will any would be theif notice how valuable your rims are based on how hard you're trying to protect them.. but they are also very easy to break them off too. most tire shops carry a $20 tool that literally can break the locks off in a matter of seconds by hand.

The best thing..........

Instead of buying an Alarm and wheels locks.

Invest that money into a "beater" car, and leave your G at your parents house (garage).

Then you can go there and take it out for the weekends.

Or if they live too far, try to leave the car at a trustworthy friend's/relative's house.

BEST METHOD!!!

Get a viper GPS System to monitor your car if it moves or
get started. You can even turn it off through the internet.

Plus with the Viper 800 ESP alarm hooked with it with
options like audio sensor, invisibeam sensor, shock sensor...

GPS tracking can be easily defeated by simply parking it under or inside a structure.. I'd rather go with a LoJack.. at least you don't have a monthly fee.. and it works almost the same with almost the same vulnerabilities.

The viper GPS system will alarm you, call your phone asap
when the car is started and moved then you can control
it with the alarm remote and turn off the engine. Basic Lojack
will not do that unless your get their Early warning recovery system
and lojack alarm system. Personally their both good having with
the options inlcuded.

buy a gun, a good lawyer, and lots of bleach, garbage bags and coffee for the all nighters your going to be pulling worrring about your rims.

INSURANCE IS MY BEST FRIEND. (Insurance rates however, are the oppposite )

the market for stolen rims off a 350z is pretty small, considering they won't fit on much else.............in short, noone wants to steal something they can't sell
