Unhappy Dont Want My Rims Stollen Again!

Does anyone know what kind of wheel locks i should use on my X ? I want the best, most secure. I probably would have to buy 5 wheel lock sets so all the lugs match.

I was thinking about these: http://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla.guard.locks

Please Advise...

Just an FYI, wheels locks can be removed in under a minute. If they really want em, they will get em.

A friend of mine wanted oem 17" wheels for his 02ish maxima, so a friend of a friend of a friend got them for him for a price. I'm condoning or advising stealing anything, but he did mention to me that the vehicles that had wheel locks were spared. I think that they work more like a deterrent than an actual anti theft device, sorta like "the club."

LOL, that was def your maxima, and your friend got them for you.

By the time even stolen rims change hands 4 times, the price would be just as high if you bought them legit
