Wheel locks are something extra, but I've seen kits on ebay that have 30+ different kinds of lock lugs. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Just wondering why you would get new better rims? They might come back and steal your rims again. I say get an alarm system first and then just by some used si rims again. I would rather take a chance with the si rims again rather than something worth a lot more.

Chrome is kinda cheesy IMO, Gunmetal on your silver coupe would look nice. That seems to be the trend beaten to death with your color, but it looks good.

Get ready to have the new rims stolen. Those chromes will attract even more attention than the old ones.

Oh yeah.... I almost forgot!
I got the wheel locks for the rims and all the bells-n-whistles for the alarm.... So if someone tries to take these the car will page me... Then I'll grab my "protection" then call the cops!

They are always in demand no matter what.

Why do people steal aluminum wings? Not because they think they can fly with them, but because they KNOW someone else thinks that they can!
