Protect from what?
If you mean from other people, I use lock nuts.

the bodydrop protects mine, you ain't getting a jack under my truck or the wheels off;)

if a someone wants your wheels bad enough they'll just break the studs. i've seen it done. wheellocks just stop the amatures. the same as an alarm won't stop a pro from taking off with your ride.

AHHH! The perfect protection A b/d! But how could someone break your studs if you weren't b/ded?

The freeze them with liquid nitrogen then smack them with a hammer... that's how they break Kryptonite bike locks.

Damn they must want your rims bad to do that. Never heard that before. But a bd must help cuz if they can't get the truck off the ground it's not going far. :D

it's notreally that hard only takes a few seconds. there are other ways brute force for one.

i guess my bodydrop helped last week when two of my neighbors had there cars messed with and mine wasn't touched. i'm pretty sure it was just punk kids since nothing was taken and one car was a pos.

Put a cap of anti-freeze near each wheel, this should keep the near by cats from pissing on them and staining them.:D

Damn I have never heard of that one before, but then again not many vehicles are stolen wear I live and not too many people f*(k with your ride unless you pissed them off or something.
