Default Stolen Rims! Easy to identify

Hey I recently had my rims stolen last Wednesday (22" Asanti AF 162). They got me and my boi that has a LS 460 (22" Lexani LX 15).I have a few questions. Im in the market for an after market alarm system and came across the Viper 5902 with remote start. I would like to know if any other GS owners have this alarm system installed on their vehicle or any similar Viper alarm system. If so have you had any problems with this alarm system? A tech from Best Buy told me that I would have to also purchase a bypass for the remote start. Also I would like to know what’s the best wheel locks on the market. because I had wheel locks on all four of my wheels but they were able to still steal them!
thanks in advance

I have a compustar 2 way pager and remote start, it required 2 bypass modules one for the push button and one for the brake since the brake must be engaged to use the push button took them awhile to install but works. If you don t disarm the alarm and hit the brake within 30 seconds the car will stall when you put it drive. I also have some freshly repainted Asantis for sale also here are some pics Viper also has an alarm that will hook to the Iphone and call you when your car goes into alarm I wish I would have gone this route PM me if your interested in the wheels they are only a year old and n great condition tires might have 8k on them I just wouldn t use a high pressure car wash on them since they are painted! By the way sorry about your wheels bro.

P.S. Im putting coilovers on my car tommorrow I have a set of Tein H tech lowering springs too!

Thats why you need video surveillance, pager, pitbulls, pistol, and an insurance policy on your wheels. Wheels locks can be removed if someone knows what they are doing

no camera in this place?? something tells me inside job for them to get both cars at the same time.

no key will prevent someone from taking your rims. I had my buddy come take off the OEM keys since I broke the key and he had all 4 lugs off in a matter of minutes. All you need is the right tool and say good bye to your rims

Yea there is rly no way to avoid it, Viper is a very good alarm system, you can also get a tow/rims stealing sensor where if the car gets lifted up it would go off. Now also you will need 2 by passes and also sacrificing a key to do all that. I would also highly suggest air horns when the alarm goes off so it would be HELLA LOUD. You can also get that iphone app for viper start it from you phone, etc ect. Compustar is a very good alarm for cars that are on stick, other than that you can't really add much to it, like all these different type of sensors like, someone puts they're hand in you car with you're windows down it would start going off bunch of sensors are offered from viper. You can view all the options and accessories here http://viper.com/ShopViperProducts/S...tegoryCode=104 This is the tow/jacking car sensor i was talking about http://viper.com/P-507M/Digital-Tilt-Motion-Sensor. Also my friend was driving his car on the highway and viper called him saying his car was stolen and turned it off while he was driving. Yes it was a mistake but he did not have a 2 way pager with him when that happened. Viper is defiantly the way to go.

I didn t have to use one of my keys for my remote start, that would have sucked to use a $500 key. They used some sort of module to get around this!

yes i had spine drive lugs This is my residence parking.. I have only been parking here for less than a month. There is a camera right above my car, but you see the white paint on my hood in picture 3.. its because they painted the camera so they couldn't be seen. We have the thieves entering and leaving (with tag #s) and there was an eye witness to the crime but the f'en police wont even come out to get the DVD.

This is how mine is also I can also get in and so long I have the key fob the car stays running. I didnt go full alarm I just wanted to warm the car up when it gets cold out.
