Default Wheel Theft Solutions

Hey Guys,

I am thinking of investing in some new wheels and tires for my Z very soon and wanted to ask a few questions. First of all, the two main forms of physical protection seem to be wheel locks and a tilt sensor built into your alarm system. What are a good set of wheel locking nuts that are a) Effective b) Lightweight? I was hoping to get a set in either a blue or teal. Would the standard racing wheel companies have these locking nuts? I just want to know what is the best, I know nothing is 100% but I just want a little peace of mind.

Also, about the tilt sensor... Does anyone know a good car electronics place in South FL. The guys who orginally put on my alarm really did a botch job, so I want it done correctly this time.

Best Regards,

Reav

another preventive measure is weirdly-shaped nuts, like mcgard spline nuts or 7-sided ones.

Thanks for the suggestion on those MCGard's I'll definetly look into them. What do you guys think of these:

And are these just lug nuts or are they only able to be opened with that little adapter in the box:

ReavTek - nice choice - the 57s-pros, G-Games 99B, and Do-Luck Double Six were on my want list. I'm in the same boat as you - gonna need wheel locks soon.
I have hyper black Double-Six on order. Post pics of those sweet rims when you get them on!
