I didn't know that. Adds another consideration just when I thought I had decided.. It never ends.

A hotrod buddy of mine suggests an AirRide suspension, set up so that when it is dropped the car is too low to get any jack under it. LOL.

I got gorrilla locks on all my wheels but that ain't gonna stop somebody from stealing your rims. Get a pistol. Or add insurance if you are that worried about it

We don't even enough room in my garage for my Camaro to fit. It's too wide.
So I have to leave it in my driveway (which is well-gated though, by the way.)

So what's the bet way for me to protect my rims from being stolen?
Can anyone give me insight on Gorilla lug nuts?
Garages are meant for cars and tools. Amazes me how many trucks and cars i see sitting in driveways when I walk the dog and nothing but boxes of crap in garage. If it's in box then you probably don't need it. Our garage has our 2 cars, my motorcycle and my tools. If someone gets in the garage, there is a 105 lb doberman, my .45, and shotgun all waiting.

Nice rims by the way

I think everyones responses covered all the options. I think the motion flood lights will be your easiest and best bet after the wheel locks. They can be adjusted to not go on from little critters passing very low.
