Not sure how they would get the outer cover off very easily.

Quickly tack weld a nut on, boom off in seconds. Like I said it will deter a bit, obviously your average thieve would not do what I said but it easily done I am also sure there are other easier ways.

Where would you weld the nut to, the inside portion of the lugnut? This was why I got the spinning sleeve, I thought it would make it harder to remove. False since of security I guess.

Hell IDK I do not steal wheels just trying to think of ways

If I was wanting to steal your wheels I would bust out the passenger side window and look in your glove box or console for the key as most people leave them there

Unfortunately I didn't have wheel locks. The po didn't put any on either and I didn't think about it at the time I got it. Lesson learned. I'll be putting a lot of locks on. At least 3 per wheel. It will be a pain to get off but will have a little more peace of mind then having none. I'm also gonna get the wheel alarm from oemparts direct until I get a better alarm. Any recommendations?

You put three per wheel you will not need to worry about anyone stealing them because they will pass you on the highway

Just get the shock and tilt sensor likelihood it will happen twice is few unless it was your neighbor who took em.

Back in the day when we would buy new rims we would take a sharpie to the rim on the inside before we mount the tires and put your cell number and a offer for reward if the tire shop is working on the rim on any car other than yours. You will be surprised it works. I have been called before by a tire shop for rims I sold.

A guy changing a tire won't pass on a easy 100.

That's just for selling more expensive. A socket will still go on with a hammer and will still be easily stolen. The outside is what I free spinning which does nothing at all

Sounds like a good idea. Will the wheel alarm for the stock alarm be sufficient?

I would still get the shock sensor. The wheel only senses tilt.
