I heard that there are special lug nuts that can be used to lock each rim but is there a difference on which type of lug nuts I choose? Where do I get them anyway. :)
 
get the lock nuts customed...around 400 for 4 pcs only plus a custom opener...yes it is expensive...only use it if you have expensive rims...if your rims cost less than 1.5k i suggest just buy those from k speed...
 
I used 4 different security lug nuts... means I have 4 different set for all 4 rims. Thief will have a hard time stealing them.

Now, in the process of modifying a China-made stun gun to fit into the rims... armed by the car alarm. Let's see if 20,000 volts is enough or not. Hehehe...

Nice one acbc, next time you can see fry people around your car
 
Still in planning stage because the stun gun are hard to come by... usually sold by street peddlars in Jln Pasar.

Still, a good weekend project.

China-made Stun Gun - RM 100
Expensive sport rims - RM 3000
Getting electrocuted while trying to steal the rims - PRICELESS! :)

Rims are definitely worth more than that. I was thinking those that are sold in tesco. Where is K speed in KL?? I'm in Penang now. Where can I custom them if I really wanna custom it.

A friend of mine bought it from a street peddlar for RM 100. According to him, has enough power to kill a medium-size dog.:shocked:

you have to remember those "off the shelf" "locknuts" share the same KEY. if you can buy it off the shelf, so can the thieves. they probably have a whole set of "KEYS"

no offence bro. If I (just for discussion sake, ya?) were the thief who wanted to steal your rims and at the end I get electrocuted (enuf to get a kick out of it, and very angry after kena shock), I would be tempted to smash the car body or glass to vent my frustration, or just to "cure" my sakit hati towards your beautiful car.
 
I was wondering how you could isolate the high voltage from interfering wth your ECU. And when it rains, pray to god you don't fry yourself when you arm the alarm.:angel_smile:
 
hmm... become DIY car security thread adi... hahaha....

as for the rims nut.. my friend bough the nut (4).. less than 20 bucks (if not mistaken)... that nut comes with the opener...

just put each nut on each rims will do.. no need until 4 maa... if cannot open one also they cannot take the rims what...
