anything from viper will do you nicely ask for a micro poxy or daul zone proxy alarm.

as for locking nuts mcguards areabout the best here in the u.k not sure about the usa

there are mopar nuts that require a special socket to get them off, they are $34 for a set of 4

and no alarm is gonna help with someone jacking your nuts again, your gonna need a proximity sensor, also it might help to have some tilt sensors incase they jack the car up. and even then theres no guarontees

I think those are the ones that i have... they came from a neon in the junk yard near me. And they cost me $0 ( thank god for pockets )

the nuts are perfectly round with groves cut into the face, if they took it then your dealing with people who know about lug-nuts... damn profetional lug thieves, they take them to the lug-nut chop shop and sell the metal for scrap or at the fea market

Locking lug nuts are usless. When I worked at a tire shop people lost there keys to them all the time. Its so easy to get those off its pathetic. They sell kits that have differant keys in them and or just get a striped lugnut kit and it will take any lug off key or no key.

As for an alarm clifferd and viper are the same company and I will never again buy another viper or clifferd. My $500 viper died after only a year.

Auto paige/astra start are awesome alarms.

yea BBY only sells viper, Codes are great alarms IMO i used to buy nothing but codes back in the day but i used to HATE how large thier modules were, they were easier to install than the Vipers too
