Hey all. I came home from Thanksgiving to find my poor Fit Sport sitting on milkcrates!! I had no idea they were in demand. Meaning I didn't have wheel locks.

My suggestions to all: Get wheel locks!!!!!!

 

that sucks! sorry to hear this... but now you have an excuse to get aftermarkets!

 

Still for the life of me cant see the appeal to these stock wheels! Mine were off in less than a week and replaced with nicer ones!

 

theres a thread lurking around with pics of 90's civics rockin Fit wheels... it looks ok... another thing ppl are snatchin is our front lips... why? who knows? again they fit on 90's civics ant look "cool"

 

It seems to be a very common problem with our Fits check this recent thread ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/1st-...es-stolen.html
It seems even wheel locks aren't safe.

 

wheel locks are are no sure thing... all it will do is slow a thief down... if they REALLY want your wheels... they will get them no matter what you do... on the stock rims i wouldn't spend huge sums on trying to save them.. they aren't THAT in demand... and are relatively cheap... now if u had 24in chrome rims worth several grand... super expensive locks might be in order, but on the Fit a decent set for like 60 bucks should sufficient.

 

wheel locks dont do shit.

 

What about the McGard Ultra wheel locks? I have them for my M5 and they have a spinning outer ring that prevents someone from hammering on a socket. A bit expensive, and I can't find a dealer in North America, but they would work a lot better than the standard Honda wheel lock.

 

yeah, i had wheel locks on my mustang and lost the key. i hammered a socket on the wheels, that did the trick. but, if someone wants the wheels, theyll get them.

 

wheel locks? i dont need no stinking wheel locks

best security ever!! i dare you to try and steal my wheels. please, try.

 

That's a good idea, I wonder if the spinning outer ring would prevent thefts? Or atleast drastically deter thieves?

Here's a link but which size/style??? McGard Wheel Locking Lug Nuts - JEGS The McGard site McGard: Innovative Security Products only shows 07-08 fitment, is it the same for the 09's?

Here's two more links but they have less info (cant look up vehicle) McGard - Wheel Locks Parts | Page 1 & Safety & Security - McGard Wheel Locks and Lug Nuts

 

This is what we need for a our wheels:

 

seriously? lol. unless u sleep in ur car, that is useless

 

Sorry to hear that man. Time for new wheels

 

yea, seriously. i sleep right near my car and i am a light sleeper. dont be a douchebag matt.

 

sorry about that man. a criminal with a bullet or two in his ass sounds good to me and my glock 27

 

he's not a douchebag he's just brutally honest. cracks me up hahaha

 

yea, hes not a douchebag, but he acts like one sometimes.

honesty doesnt consist of assumption.

 

i would keep a close eye on craigslist, some of these morons post for sale ads on the newly stolen merchandise.

there's a user here on FitFreak that found his stolen wheels for sale on craigslist then went to the seller's house and assaulted the guy

 

my car was stolen from my driveway right below my window. and im a light sleeper as well.
