I think its breaks down like this
Sport Wheels- $ 3.5-4k
TPMS sensors- $ 800
OEM Tires- $ 1400
Mounting, balancing, misc labor $200

That is all rough estimates so give or take a few hundred.

I like the sound of this.. thanks cody.

You guys think its a good idea to put on a nice set again after the first set was stolen, theres a good chance it could happen again...just my personal opinion.

Yes.

Wheel locks dude. ALL my wheels have 2 wheel locks on them. It's definitely a deterrence and a prevention measure in itself.

Yeah no it isn't. Professional wheel thieves will always have a master set. Hell, most shops have a master key they can use on your wheels so long as they know what the pattern looks like.
If a professional thief really wants your wheels, they're going to get them.

The best deterrent is a car alarm with a tilt sensor.

Man if someone stole my wheels, I'd go get Volk G2s or maybe GT-R wheels.

Well technically nothing is a deterrent to a professional anything. But 40 wheel locks in all is definitely something someone doesn't want to go through. For that last post... I meant each "nut" has 2 wheel locks.

Hey man, Im interested in running 2 locks as well, can you point me in the right direction? what do you recommend?

dmhenderson · 09-27-2013, 03:04 PM

Just buy a 2nd set from Nissan. They're like $50 for 4 + key.

This is what I have. Two keys required for each nut. And they drive from the inside so they don't ruin your wheels with accidental scratches or rubs from whatever tool is used.
