Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

My C6 wheels were stolen twice in Alexandria, VA. Recommend Gorilla Guard locks!! And be sure to order the spare key!

The Gorilla Guard Locks with the spinning sleeve are much harder to get around.

Gorilla locks at under $50 is a no brainer after spending thousands on any car with nice wheels and tires. They will help keep some honest.

I wonder if the alarm went off...I forgot mine was set one day I jacked up my car and it went off.
