Install an alarm and buy a gun, problem solved.

 

I'm already considering wheel locks and looking for a set of project kics atm. However I did some research and saw that locks can be easily broken off by hammering a socket and impacted off.

 

This. I couldn't have said it better myself.

 

all you need is a cinder block and a long steel rod to get almost any car up in the air.

 

Don't care how slammed you are, if someone wants something off your car they will get it no matter what. Wheel locks hahahaha yeah they help a little but not really, they can be taken off too. Keep your receipt talk to your insurance to make sure they are covered and done deal. If your wheels get jacked insurance gets you a newer set.

 

Plus, since people are going to steal your wheels when you're slammed, they're not going to be too concerned about messing up your exterior body in order to do so.

Have any of you guys ever seen the image of the S2K with a jack jammed into it's fiberglass bumper?

 

exactly. theives don't care if they fuq up your car. look at the pic I posted. my sideskirts were chillin on blocks. definitely damaged underneath and so was the front bumper resting on the ground. fortunately for me the damage was all underneath so I didn't bother to fix it.

 

I have not, but thanks guys. Gonna think twice before I get expensive wheels.

 

Lol I haven't, that's f'ed up! Post some pics

 

I came out to the same sight you did Mrs. My car was chilling on blocks that had humps on the tops of them. I fixed the undercarriage/floor that got pushed up a bit. I also got brand new side skirts and front mudguards.

 

Definitely harder to steal wheels once the car is super low but where there's a will there's a way. Having your car lowered to the point where it's hard to work on it is a deterrent but it's not impossible to steal wheels off of a slammed car.

 

I'm looking for it now, but no such luck. I think Blain originally showed it to me since the S2K was from Canada.

 

Those rolling jacks everybody knows of aren't the only jacks available, and the proper jack points on the sides of a car aren't the only places to use to lift a car you don't care about. Even still, those "low profile" jacks you guys see everywhere aren't the lowest profile rolling jacks around either.

Those jacks in your trunk are quite thin and can squeeze under any lowered car nicely with a little finesse. If anything, it only takes jacking up the rear a bit to fit another jack under the sides. And if you feel the rear of your car is just a bit too low for a jack (which I highly doubt), try having a buddy lift the car by the fender. (We do this to get lowered cars on the lift all the time)

A two man team can strip your wheels in very little time, some people are skilled enough to do this on their own.

Wheel locks are the only thing that can make stealing wheels difficult, but of course there are plenty of ways around that as well.

 

When I swapped my wheels last month from the g37 to the g35, I had to use BOTH factory jacks out of both cars, and TWO floor jacks JUST to get my g35 up without damaging it. And it took a LONG time... my sideskirts sit less than 2" from the ground and the front bumper is not that much higher. The rears were easy because you can fit the floor jack easily underneath the trunk and jack up from the diff. The fronts.... another story all together. It was a PITA and I never want to do that again by myself.

 

garage it if you can
