The sticker....Your choice....If you want it, stuff what others think, as it is your car...

Rims are prone to be nicked whilst the car is sitting, more than the car.....A good set of lock nuts is quite often a good deterant against rim theft.

thanks mate, good input

the sticker i guess its not as bad as a chevy badge on the back, although i am looking to get a chevy grill, cos executive grills are crap as

ive currently got half crusty chrome but decent rims on it now, with 2 different set of lock nuts lol

was more just wondering if these SS rims are super popular and thieves will jump at them?

my cars off street at night but its accessible

Theyre not ss rims and they're not vt either lol. They're vz svz or thunder wheels. May be susceptible to theft as ive been looking for a year n a half for a set and aren't the easiest to come across lol. They only came out on like 2000 vz's I think. Rest were ve .

Also do what you want but chev badge grill and hsv stickers on an executives pretty lame imho. I hate seeing ss cars with hsv I just want ones stickers in particular as I believe you should be proud enough of the ss but never really seen them on executives unless they were fake clubbies.

Nothing wrong with the sticker if it is complete, not cut up ........ you are just stating that you want a HSV, don't we all?
Chevy grille ...... oh dear, must you?
Those rims are genuine Monaro CV8R ..... rare as. And put some lock nuts on, that will deter grubby amateur thieves.

I agree. Ur car. Ur choice. Fk what others think lol.
What location are you in? I used to be hella paranoid bout gettin double din stereo cos i couldnt take face off, n it be stolen. I live nth suburbs melbourne.
I have never heard of cars getting pinched cos of tyres round my area.

If really paranoid get extra think chain to link all tyres with no movement to take tyres off. So the fkers would have to take all the car on tow truck witch im sure you would hear. Unless they had grinder to cut chain.. but you should hear them before they gwet all four you know?

Sorry to be a pain, but can u check my thread and leave an opinion lol. Cheers

You can do that with any lock nut if its close enough to the socket size. You can also get Bolt removal sockets or "wave lock" sockets a lock nut will slow someone down as you'll need four correct throw away sockets as most times you need a vice and a hammer to get the nut back out.
