Get an alarm with a tilt and motion sensor and also 4 movement sensors for the wheel wells. In fact get a proximity sensor too :lol:

All that with locking wheel nuts will be fine for insurance. At the end of the day, if your wheels get nicked they will be covered by insurance and you'll get a new set.

They will still bang a socket over the end of them :)
You can't do that with McGaurd ones...

I wanna make it as hard as possible and im sure most people would run if a Alarm started going even at night because they couldnt be to sure how many people could wake up

I have the Vauxhall locking nuts. About £20. Good value. I can't see anyone banging a socket onto those :P

You can get tilt Sensors for alarms. If a car is jacked up/rocked the alarm will sound. Seen it on Clifford and Toad alarms.

Is there any add on's you can get to a Alarm so if some1 tried to get the alloys the Alarm would go off

it's obviously added protection but bare in mind that the locking wheel nuts aren't as good a quality as the standard nuts they usually contain less carbon in the steel mix and are weaker and usually are shorter adding more pressure to it overall...

Just buy an decent set straight away e.g. evo, mcguard rather than a couple of shoot sets. but if someone really wants ure alloys, they'll get them

Has any1 on here have 2 sets of locking wheel nuts on their cars

Is it worth doing for added protection, plus how hard is it to get the locking wheel nuts off if some1 was trying to nick the alloys ???

Lets hear your views lads
