09 Fit all wheels stolen - ADVICE: get wheel locks

[Alpha Zero]

$3000? Isn't just the wheels with tires more than $3000 already from Honda???

First new car I ever bought in my life. Loved it for two months, then awakened to find my fit sitting on blocks and all four tires gone, despite wheel locks. So...I gather from this forum that a tilt sensor alarm would be helpful. Any suggestions on brand/price? And would switching down to 15-inch base wheels really deter theft? Any downside to making this switch, beyond appearance? Thanks.

sorry to hear, mjourn. as for tilt sensors i believe you need to get an aftermarket alarm system. i usually get a DEI brand one if aftermarket.

15" base wheels would deter theft, but the 07-08 15" alloys will encourage theft. so yah, depending on how much your insurance is willing to pay you might want to just get some aftermarket ones from www.tirerack.com
