Its an extremely infuriating situation. You go out to your beloved Z in the morning, only to find all the wheels missing and the **** left your car perched up on cinder blocks!
![]() A while ago I started coming across articles showing an epidemic of rims being stolen off cars. This got me worried because I realize my own 370z doesn't have any wheel locks. All of my research about wheel locks left me less than enthusiastic. There are few videos on wheel locks themselves, but there are several times the amount of videos on YouTube on how to defeat them which is annoying! I have a garage, so thankfully I already have some protection at night at home. What about people without a garage? I'm curious to know what kind of wheel locks others have installed. Do they really work or can they just be "defeated" as shown in numerous videos on YouTube? Is it really worth it to install an upgraded car alarm if the thieves simply continue working and walk off with your precious rims, alarm blaring, but being ignored by irritated neighbors? I put in an order for "Gorilla Automotive 63621 Standard Mag Gorilla Guard Locks" as it seemed the best fit for Rays sport package wheels that I can find on Amazon. Some interesting videos on the issue: |
