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.

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!!!

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.
