Wheel/Tire Theft Notice

Ok, I'm gonna knock on wood after I type this but....

I think the FRS wheels are bleh and if I woke up and ONLY the wheels were missing with no other damage, that's an insurance claim I don't mind making.

Lol, the wheels aren't my favorite either, but they're still 17 inch alloys. The problem is these thieves often let the car fall (or the car slips off of the bricks/blocks after the wheels are stolen) on exposed suspension components and the braking components as well, so there can be other damage.

I never get the oem wheel locks because the specialized thieves carry around multiple oem wheel lock keys and can often get your wheels off without an impact wrench or a removal tool...yes, I am paranoid.

I go with McGard or Gorilla locks so that there is a less of a chance that the thief will know what type of locks I have installed.

Some of the more skilled Honda thieves actually carried around briefcases filled with all of the oem wheel lock keys from various years and would clean house at Honda gatherings, etc.

However I doubt that we will have the same type of thievery that goes on in the Honda world...

Yeah, I got the Scion ones for now. Eventually I'm going to put on a full set of gorillas, but I needed something quick and easy to deter at least. Can you tell I don't trust all of my neighbors? hahaha.
