What have you people got on your wheels? And has anyone ever had theirs nicked and if so what did you do to make sure it never happened again?

I ask because the ones that came with the car were nicked, so I went out and bought some cheap ones. To stop em from gettin nicked I tied them to the wheel with some plastic. But having said that, 1 cap was still nicked!

Whats the best to get? :auto:

When I had a 440 I used two plastic cable ties per wheel trim to stop them falling off & to deter opportunist thieves. If they really want them though, they'll cut the ties & take them I am afraid.

As James said, you could fit a set of alloy wheels & locking wheelnuts, but that's £££.

Hope the thief leaves you in peace.
