WHEEL LOCK FITMENT
Black wheel lock recessed deep in the back of the hole of the wheel. Rimlox verifies the fitment of every single installation via online registration. This ensures that the lock is the correct size and fits correctly and properly. Any installation that does not fit correctly or properly will be swapped out with a new and free set that conforms to the Rimlox guarantee requirements.
MATCHING "DUMMY" CAP(S)
The matching "dummy" cap(s) is a process where Rimlox will modify your existing lug nut or bolt to fit onto or into the Rimlox wheel lock keeping all lug nuts/bolts looking the same in appearance. The "dummy" cap also keeps the wheel lock protected from rust and the elements such as rain and or snow.

Replacing wheels can quickly become a costly expense for any vehicle, but some, like late model Dodge Charger Hellcats, can run more than $10,000 for the set of four.
Premiere Services tracks and reports insurance-related losses. For 2022, frequency across all markets combined was up 18%, and has increased almost 90% since 2020.
“As we look at the claims we handle, these are not fancy custom wheels being stolen,” said Chris Sestito, COO. “Nearly 90% of the insurance claims we handle are for OEM wheels. The relatively high cost of the wheels and the ease of selling stolen wheels on the secondary markets has really contributed to a significant increase in theft.”
Sestito said Premiere Services offers an onsite wheel and tire replacement service to insurers and their customers that reduces cycle time, manages costs and boosts policyholder satisfaction. In addition, Premiere’s service eliminates not only the cost of flatbed tows, but the costs resulting from expensive additional damages that can occur while loading the wheel-less vehicle onto a truck bed.
“Our analysis indicates that through the reduction or elimination of costs across multiple line items, we mitigate insurers’ costs by $800-$1,000 per claim,” said Sestito.
TOP 10 WHEEL PROTECTION MYTHS / false sense of security

Cameras are very good investments, however they do NOT deter wheel thieves.

Sensors only work if they the vehicle is compromised or jarred, which in most cases, wheel thieves barely touch the vehicle to activate any alarm.
9. I LIVE NEXT TO A COP...
Police are off duty when they are home and are just like any other neighbor. If they see someone stealing your wheels, they will call the cops as well.
10. I LIVE IN A GATED COMMUNITY...
Gated communities do not keep wheel thieves following someone in the gate, getting inside to steeling your wheels and tires.
