I got black McGard Spline Drive Tuner lugs & locks when I got my 18" Versus wheels (stock lugs wouldn't fit small holes anyway).

Also have the Digital Tilt/Motion sensor added to my Clifford 9000!

Post What wheels locks do you guys use?

I guess most people use the McGard locks that came with the car. Anyone use anything better? I remember a lock that used a pin to open and close them. You used to shove the pin into a hole in the front of the lock to open and close them. Anyone remember them? I think they used to advertise in the back of car mags. I think they were from Canada.

Where can I get those locks? You're not using the lugs that came with your Versus rims? I was assuming that "Extension" thing acted as the wheel lock. No? Do we all have the same shape lugs and the extension for it??

Probably a dumb question... can the Tilt sensor be added to the stock alarm??

Listen guys, if a thief wants to steal your car, they will take it, no matter what kind of alarm you have..However, There is an alarm in europe on the market, in which the thief gets into the car, closes the door, the doors lock, and everything has an electric charge...anything he touches, he gets zapped..all this while the police are on their way...wish we had that....

All I want is a petty thief deterrent. You don't want to make it too easy for ANYONE to steal your car, do you?

I saw this alarm system on a BMW that lights the thief on fire... and I thought THAT was cool. *lol*

I'd rather a Kimber Super Match myself.

I don't have the tilt sensor, I don't have rims yet, but when I do my shock and poximity sensors would go off if anyone tried to take them.
