Wheel locks and tire pressure sensor...
 
I am upgrading my wheels to the staggered, silver Nismo LMGT4's...

Will my OEM tire pressure sensors work? If not, what do I need to make this work again?

I have seen quite a few posts on wheel locks. It seems that most are not very effective since they have ONE type of key. I am looking into the McGard's; their website seems to say something about unique key patterns. Is this the case?

Does anyone have a recommended vendor for McGard's wheel locks in black?

McGard are no better than anything else. Those are the "Nissan" brand that the dealers sell. eBay or Google to find places that sell them.

Ok...nevermind on the Tire Pressure Sensor Question. I found it on the sticky.

Anyone have any input for the wheel locks?

What dimension thread does the 350Z have? McGard offers 12x1.25 and 12x1.5 (From what I saw)...

Wheel locks are useless to someone who has a kkit like this...

I went to a friends house and removed the wheel locks to all 7 cars in his drive way with this kit most fun I had in years!!!!!!

Dear striker27: The purpose of "security" doohickeys is to make it JUST a little
harder for the bad guys. There's no real security for vehicles (neither alarms,
stainless steel or titanium "bullet proof" locks, nor wheel locks). It's a matter of making envious lazy bums think:..."hmm..THIS car's gonna take me 4 or 5
minutes to swipe, so I'll go get THAT other one"...When an envious lazy bum
WANTS one of our monZters, they HAVE ways of takin' 'em! Most often they use a tow truck to haul our beasts away!---at least, down here!!!

wheel locks= waste of money and a sense of false security.

j.arnaldo 05-08-2008 06:55 PM

All sense of "security" is false. The bad guys CAN get to you, if they want to!
Car, home, savings, etc. I only trust almighty God for my spiritual security. In this world...there's none.

So the Z uses the 12x1.25??? What is it a tighter threading or something?
