Wheel anti-thief system?
i just got my new g37xs sedan last week, but i am afraid of people steeling the wheels.
anyone here can recommend some good wheel(rims) anti-thief system?
i heard the tilt sensor alarms are pretty good and wheel locks dont actually works that well, anyone any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

I doubt anyone would want those wheels, but you can try wheel clubs or boots!

Aftermarket alarm w/ tilt sensor is your best bet. That way when the tilt sensor goes off, it alerts you of the situation. Then you can take note on DrJones suggestion and walk out there with fury!!

Are u serious? I know they steal coupe rims like crazy but I did not think that anyone would want the G37 Xs sedan rims as they are kind of ..... well you know I hate them. If they are known to get stolen too, this is very bad news. There is really no way to protect them, those locks can be popped in 2 minutes.

I got the new lowjack with built in tilt sensor. If the tilt sensors go off (rims being stolen or being towed) it immediatly sends a text to your phone

The G37 Sedan Sport wheels have built in theft protection; it's called ugliness .
