Default i just thought of a security device

you tink its possible to use the U lock on our rims? depending on the thickness of the rim and tires..im pretty sure its duable..i dont kno if any1 sees how the u lock will go on the rim.. i was thinking like the U one point will go outside of the tire and the other point through a spoke/lip of the rim area...i mean it will make it seem harder for people that just push starts the car with a U lock on the front tire.. it wouldnt roll very well

better for them to tow it rather then getting away alot easier by just cuttin the horn on the alarm and push starting it

what if you use one in the FRONT and the REAR tire so they can't tow it, they'll have to have a flat bed?

well i only say in front cuz if they was to tow it will have to be the front up.. and the back down.. but in order to start the rear brakes on rolling it will screech till it hits 10 mph

what if you connect it so it'll kind of connected to your braking system and as soon as the wheel start to spin, the lca and stuff will start falling off, leaving a trail of brake fluid for you to follow

its a case where functionality and convenience conflict. ifs its too much of a hassle for the user, it becomes impractical.

Good Ideas nonethless.

Good idea... but sorry to burst your bubble... there are companies that already produce the "rim lock" its similar to a U-lock design as well...

jeffna was selling them on here a while back.

I am starting to think nothing is safe no matter what kind of security you use! When I purchase my alarm for my Integra I did not get it for theft but rather for keyless entry! That is kinda sad if you think about it. Stupid theives!
