Should I get wheel locks?

Tessener · 03-22-2015, 04:41 PM

I am thinking about purchasing some Forgestar F14 wheels and am moving off to college in a bigger city and was considering getting some wheels locks for reassurance but are they worth it? Opinions and experiences appreciated

Yeah I would definitely invest in wheel locks......when I rolled on te37's and BBS RS-GT's on my previous BMW's I actually had 3 sets of locks on those wheels. Piece of mind, plus it will slow down a thief hopefully enough so that my neighbor see's something is up or I hear my alarm. Really though a good thief will get the wheels if they want.....hell they might even kick your car if they get frustrated, at the end of the day you can recover wheels through insurance.

Wheel locks do nothing. Maybe an extra minute or two for a thief. But chances are they already scoped out your setup days before and came prepared. Slam your car if you want to keep your wheels. Lol.

If they want your wheels bad enough.....just consider them gone!
I curse wheel locks as I always lose the key
