How can you protect your rims (OEM and aftermarket) from thieves?

I have a dream, a dream where I come outside in the middle of the night and catch a thief red handed trying to steal my $h!t. Then I fire a couple rounds in the air and watch him squirm.

The rounded outside surface is not an issue. I had wheel locks on my RSX that had the rounded outside surface. I'll just say that when I lost my key, I was able to get them off quickly and very, very easily.

These will slow down some of the thieves however, and I still think it's a good idea to use them. You should also invest in an aftermarket alarm with tilt sensor however.

In the air? Eff that...I would put the .40 cal straight through his thieving little brain. We have a right to protect our property in Texas, even with lethal force.

You can shoot someone in the head at point blank range if they try to steal from you in texas?
