Hey hey!
So apparently there has been a fair amount of car theft in my area recently. Mostly Tailgate McNoIndicate and the likes. But my car stands out.
Anybody got any recommendations for snap of/quick release wheel boss kits? I have Nardi wheels so would have to fit them!
Tia!

I've got a slim NRG boss. Great fitment and no play, but a little bit tricky to use. The full size quick release hubs are easier, but (obviously) move the steering wheel further towards the driver.

I have a disklok but I do know they are not impenetrable...
QR is tempting - would mean being able to enter and exit the car more easily! lol
Is the bumblebee on the drive, though? Or the street?
Is it an area where it's always busy or a cul de sac where cars not normally parked there stand out? (so making it easier to see if someone's casing the joint?)
There is one school of thought that says it's better to let them take a car with minimal effort, rather than being woken up by a 14 year old chav with nothing to lose standing over your and your missus' bed with a hammer in his hand, shouting at you to give him the Canoeing keys...

I had/have somewhere a disklok but it annoyed me having to have it in the car all the time.
Bumblebee lives mostly at the end of a cul de sac. Which is at the rear of the house, outside the garage. So I can go weeks without even seeing the car! The road is usually quite busy during the day as there's a school on here too. But there's also a house at the end of the road that I'm pretty sure sells drugs. So invites the wrong people down the street.
I shall have a look at the nrg ones!

Removing the steering wheel won't stop someone that wants it- they will check it out and come prepared with 2 big pairs of mole grips...

NRG slim QR ++ no issues there. The boss side of the QR is only for momo bolt pattern, but the wheel side has bolts for both momo and nardi - I have a spare momo boss for a mk1/mk2 if you need it.

I'm currently using a slim D1 spec one but have just ordered a normal one to bring the wheel a bit closer. Will be selling the slim one once the new one arrives.
