To protect expensive aftermarket wheels, it’s easier to think about not only measures for the wheels themselves, but also comprehensive theft prevention for the entire vehicle.

First, on the wheel side, using dedicated lock nuts is the basic approach.
However, lock nuts are only intended to slow the process by forcing thieves to spend more time, and you can’t say they are sufficient by themselves.

In addition, high-sensitivity shock sensors or digital tilt sensors may be helpful to make it easier to detect when the vehicle is jacked up, when it tilts, and even small movements.
This is a part that’s easy to consider as preparation not only for the lifting motion needed to remove the wheels, but also for abnormal vehicle movement.

Also, wheel theft and vehicle theft may involve different methods, but if the thief takes the entire vehicle, wheel-only measures won’t be enough.
That’s why it’s reassuring to organize your plans in a combined way, including theft prevention for the vehicle itself along with wheel protection.

At LOGON, depending on your vehicle model and parking environment, we provide guidance separated into:

• Measures you can take on the wheel side
• Preparation for jacking up and abnormal vehicle movement
• Measures you’ll want to consider for the vehicle body itself
• Ways to minimize disruption to your everyday usability

If you’re using expensive aftermarket wheels, we recommend you don’t stop at thinking only about the wheels—consider measures that cover the entire vehicle.
If you’re unsure, you can sort things out starting with a reasonable approach based on your vehicle model and storage environment.
