How do you keep your... wheels safe?

If you drive your car everyday and you want to avoid people from stealing it?

make them NOT want to steal ur wheel... 5 sets of locks maybe will do.

u want to prevent them from trying. IMO one set means nothing.

send the invoice of the wheels to your ins. broker, and let them cover it. No need to use wheel locks anymore.

Make a papier-mache (color photocopy) of your stock wheels to match the exact size of your current rims and then carefully glue them to your wheels everytime you park so it deceives the theives to thinking you're rolling on stocks.

Think he meant wheels as in the whole car.

I personally dont leave my p-cars out of my sight unless they are at their home safely tucked away. From what I understand...if someone really wants to steal your car they will.

This is also an option...PITBULL

...not the dog, although that might work.

All depends on the value of them you want to be insured for.

I paid extra ( less than $10 CAD) each month to have them cover a set of 19" BBS LM on my A4
