By far McGard lugs and locks are the best!

Hey man, i had Gorilla wheel locks on my wheels when i first got them. i think they were called "Guard Lock". they worked, but your screwed if you loose the key/socket.

i just got the ones from auto zone in black for my new rims, used the chrome ones before, work fine, if you lose the key you just have to keep the paper that comes with it because they can make you a new one. put it with your registration and insurance card.

Also, never thought of a tilt sensor, thats a good idea.
