Stealing Volk's
 
Has anyone ever had this problem. I'm kind of new with the Volk wheels. I am purchasing TE37's in Gold, for my G. I was just nervous because there has been a couple cases around where I live with wheels getting stolen, any chance that could happen? Anyway to prevent it?

Wheel locks.

There is a chance it could happen, if that's your question. Wheel locks will make it more difficult, but far from impossible. Insurance was invented for this very reason.

doh ... site is down...

does rimlox sell those pivoting cuffs that sit on top fo the lugs? or are they just lock/key combos like everyone else?

wheels locks will just deter the ones that aren't handy. :)

you can rip off any wheel lock out there.

you can use a gator grip (http://gator-grip.com/) to pull them off (depends on how good you are...but, the teeth will go into the groves where the "key" should go. but, this is a little tough since the wheel lock key doesn't have a grove that is very deep.

but, if you really wanna take them off with ease...get one of these:

this thing will rip off anything! when i replaced by friends exhaust...i used this to take off a nut that was rusted so bad that it was nearly welded to the bolt! thins thing just ripped it right off (nearly ripped the nut apart!). this one wouldn't fit in the lug nut hole (but, they have one that is about 4 inches long or so...that'll fit right in. hammer it on...and twist! :)

and, no, i don't do around stealing rims. :)
