is there an aftermarket alarm where you can put some kind of motion sensor so the alarm would go off if they tried to take the wheels off... I've herd something like that

theres motion sensors you can add to aftermarket alarms, also theres tilt sensors so if the car tilts up or down it will set off the alarm. Unfortunately factory alarms do not have these options.

or you can just wire your rims to run an electrical current that you can plug in manually when you park the car (behind the spokes), of which will be insulated from any sort of grounding by the tires.
Those who touch your rims with the circuit on will have the skins on their palms melted to the rims

Well the G37 S came with beautiful 19's factory. I think I'm going to order a couple of sets of wheel locks. There's this kid in Queens with a civic (turbo) that has an actual wheel lock. It wraps around his rim and tire so they can't steal the car. Kind of like the boot you get if you don't pay your tickets. Gotta take a picture of that one. But if they replace the wheel with a spare I'm assuming they can still steal the car.
op, where is that toyota located?

It's so easy to do now a days...
Specially when AutoZone and PepBoys sell the wheel lock key removal sockets for $19.99... Then all they have to do is combine that with a Battery operated Impact gun... and all 4 wheels are gone in less than 5 minutes...
But if you're worried about someone stealing your wheels... you shouldn't even consider a car period... IMHO

damn sorry to hear that man, especially living in queens myself o_0 quality aftermarket alarms always offer superior "prevention" power than factory. and yeah, if it were up to me, i'd wire a current to my wheels too =P

There's a reason why we are all required to carry insurance... you're covered...

I'm covered... tilt sensors/shock sensors, proximity sensors and a phone call should my alarm start going off, even an attack chicken... but still I worry sometimes.
That could possibly fry the attack chicken.
