What thief is going to try to steal the wheels off your car?

They're going to steal the seats if anything.

This is true don't try to use aftermarket wheel locks on OEM wheels as the OEM one have a ball end and the aftermarket ones are tapered. I had the OEM ones when I had OEM wheels, really though any wheel lock can be defeated. They only stop the amateur thief, if they know what they are doing then they will take more than just your wheels.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying don't try, by all means I have wheel locks, seat locks, an alarm, and a gun. But in the end what you need to have is insurance and the acceptance that if **** is going to happen it is going to happen.

Welcome to the club of S owners and thieves wanting your stuff.

heyyy i just came back cruising in my s2k, for some reason its running a lot better after i filled up the tank with 93 octane, who knows what was in the gas tank when i bought the car. but back to the subject it does make sense what you guys are saying if they gonna steal it they gonna steal it. i just wanted to make it harder for them. The OEM ones are cool but i see how the get rusty sometimes on the inside, i guess ill go that route. Two of my wheels are curbed, has anyone ever polisihed these wheels? i wonder how they look. !!!!!love the stock wheels.

I wouldn't go out and buy locks for OEM wheels, only because the typical McGard type locks are so easy to defeat and your $ is better spent toward a good alarm. For aftermarket wheels I like the heptagon lug nuts.
