Many people try to save on everything, including cars that buy for a lot of money. So, for example, not everyone puts his car in the parking lot, preferring to leave it at home. Many attribute this to the fact that in the morning you do not need to get to the parking lot, but you can immediately sit down and go on business, but others still admit that in order to save.
However, do not forget that most hijackers take advantage of these circumstances and strive to steal your car or something from the passenger compartment. Some of them tidy up the radio and other utensils in the car, but others are not averse to getting expensive wheels and tires. In this case, unscrewing the wheels is not difficult, and the alarm most often does not work. The owner, going out into the yard and seeing his swallow without wheels, will not be very happy.
In order not to be in such a situation and save on the purchase of new tires and wheels, which are quite expensive, secret wheels were invented that prevent attackers from unscrewing them.
When purchasing such devices, you do not need to choose the simplest ones, here you need to clearly understand that the more complex the design, the better. What are wheel locks? They are of two types - nuts or bolts, which are created in a certain shape and are unscrewed only by the original balloon wrench or head included in the kit. There are 4 of them in total, that is, one per wheel.
In order to install the secrets on the wheels, you need to unscrew one simple bolt from each wheel and put new ones in their place. The hijackers may initially not notice it and twist the three remaining ones, but when the turn reaches the last, they will not succeed.
Prices for such secret nuts are very diverse - from several hundred rubles to 5 thousand and above. It depends on the degree of strength of the metal and the intricacy of the shape of the bolt or nut itself. That is, the more expensive, the better your car will be protected.
Cheaper options, of course, will serve as protection, but still they can be unscrewed. Since most manufacturers try to release the largest possible series of products, they don’t think about the fact that a person buying one set receives an original key that is suitable for the second of the same set. That is why expensive wheel locks are much stronger and more reliable. An attacker can afford to spend 500 rubles to purchase cheap secret bolts and nuts, thereby he will gain access to many wheels of other people's cars and earn even more. Dear secrets, the good thing is that, firstly, few will purchase them, and secondly, the release of such products is usually limited, which means you will not see a huge pile of identical copies on a store shelf.
The best option is to create an individual kit. Of course, such secrets on wheels will cost a lot, but then in the future you will not have to spend even more. Also, do not forget about the good alarm system, which will always work on time and tell you about the opening of the car. But still it is better to use a paid guarded parking lot, where your car will be supervised.
