lowering is good for rims

this guy at school almost got his rims stolen, but since his car was dropped verrryy low..as in i can barely put my shoe under it, the thief couldnt jack his rims... he has a 02 accord coupe,

i just picture how funny it was ... how these theif's couldnt even jack rims off a lower car.. im pretty sure there was a way

oh yeah there's a way

honda factory jacks can go into some pretty amazing places, and then all you gotta do is get it high enough for a small floor jack which will then allow you to get the bricks under there.

or you can spend the big bucks and get a nascar jack, they'll go under anything.

Yea, thats what I was gonan say. I have 2 on each rim just to be extra safe.... you can never be too careful.

Is there a way to take off the lug locks? I'm sure there is I'm just not aware how.

the biggest thing is the area....

Your car isn't going to get stolen, broken into unless your in that kind of area...

One place i know of that cars always get broken into are appartment complexes. Ive heard so many stories

Who needs bricks, if your scandalous enough to steal the guys rims, do you really care about his car sitting on the ground?

there is a tool where it just strips the inside pattern out of the lock and makes its own to turn the locknut off .. but u need a impact wrench to use it.. ive seen it done with a metric socket that is hammered onto the locknut and loosened.... lock nuts are good if its not a professional stealin ur **** then he prob has the key for them as well lol ..
