    I'd buy 5 different sets of wheel locks. That'll REALLY piss them off.

    Default Wheel locks...

    So I was at a jobsite in a pretty nice neighbohood and saw an integra on blocks, yep wheels stolen. So I'm like set on getting some wheel locks. So I've got a set of t-stars now, but I'm considering spacers on the rear. Should I do the spacers and if I do what size and what locks should I get? Also I hear theres 2 types of locks, pattern and actual key ones....any opinions?? THANKS!

    Uhhh, why would you add spacers to your t-stars on the rear? They are E34 t-stars, right?

    I got RAD wheel locks from Bimmian a couple years ago. They are good quality.

    A 235/60/15 will get you another 1/4" closer to the quarterpanel, and stay within the +2% recommended tire diameter so your speedometer isn't totally out of wack.

    Almost too bad you didn't get E32 T-Stars then because as I recall they stick out another 6mm farther than the E34 ones do.

    I can't much imagine my T-Stars being any farther outboard than they are and not catching the fender lip. But then again the EDCIII Nurburgring suspension on the car makes it sit really, really low. Even lower than an M5 w/Dinan suspension on it. A friend of mine has a '93 with Dinan suspension and noticed that my car sits a good deal lower than his does. I was a bit surprised as my suspension is stock, but after comparing them side by side he was right. Between the stance and the different bumper on the M-Sport it makes them look a little more aggressive than the M5 does.
