Aftermarket Alarm to prevent wheel theft?!?

I'm getting some volk or works soon and I started getting paranoid about wheel theft, or even the car getting stolen entirely..I live in an apartment with very limited parking security and work at a bar and gotta say its not the safest place to leave my car...

SO thinkin bout getting a viper or clifford alarm installed when I get my wheels..but how much would this even help? I dont have a sound system or leave anything too expensive in the car so I'm mainly interested in a sort of tilt/shock sensor with a 2-way pager. How much would this run with install??

your going to need a tilt sensor where any change in the car's angle will trigger the alarm, such as jacking up the car. Usually they're add-ons, crutchfield is priced at $70-$80 which means you can probably get it cheaper than that somewhere else.

I tried wiring up alarm sensors to my wheels, but the wires twisted around the axles and broke.
