| I'm looking for larger wheels and tires for my Z, and wrestling with how much to spend. One of my concerns with spending a lot, and getting what I really want, is that the wheels will be more suceptible to being stolen than a cheaper set. I work in an old mall that has been converted to mostly office space. However, there are one or two stores still open, so the general public has the opportunity to drive by and see my Z on a regular basis. And some of the other businesses in the mall aren't high-end, and many of the employees don't look exactly wholesome. I park my Z on the end of a row so it can only get dinged on one side, but it also places my Z with one side in full view of the outer road around the parking lot that all these other ppl drive on. So they all pass within a couple feet of my Z. Last year in another section of the parking lot (it's a big lot as it was a mall), there was an Accord up on blocks with no wheels...... It was in the parking lot proper of one of the stores that is still open, and it was visible from the main drag which is 6 lanes wide through town. My Z isn't visible from that road. I've thought of a couple options, and was looking for opinions and other ideas. 1) I was thinking a car cover might work? But it only covers part of the wheels, and when it flaps it can damage paint. Also, what do you do when you come out to go home and it's raining and the cover is soaking wet? 2) Put RV wheel covers/plastic bags over the wheels, or at least the two visible from the parking lot road. That might tip ppl off the wheels are worth looking at though, and you still have the rain issue, but not as big of a problem. 3) Put a couple different wheel locks on and pray. 4) Some sort of fake hubcap cover you can put on your wheels to make them look cheap? 5) Drive another car to work most of the time. Thanks,
Mike ------------------------------------------------------
