Default which is a better security? no steering wheel or a steering wheel club?

right now im using a steering wheel club, but i want to get an aftermarket steering wheel too, so i was thinking that if i got that, then i wouldnt need the club
i could just remove the wheel every night
or stick with the club
or stick with the club and the aftermarket steeringwheel?

im wondering this cause my brother told me they can just cut my steering wheel and take out the club, so it doesnt seem too safe

your brother is right.... it's hard to cut a club but you can hack a slot in the steering wheel in nothing flat then twist the club out.... most crooks don't carry around a spare steering wheel and if they looked in and noticed that there wasn't one they'd probably move on to something else....

^ I agree. Unless your town bans hacksaws I think removing the steering wheel would be the better choice! But if thats a hassle, you could always install a kill switch.

my alarm has a kill switch
you cant turn on the engine unless you pressed the button on the alarm key


but
would it be EVEN better if i used the aftermarket steering wheel WITH the steering wheel club?
cause the aftermarket steering wheels are harder to cut through, and i will also have the club on it

Quick disconnect on the steering wheel along with a hub wheel lock will keep the car home at night...

Mine has that too, but upon researching it when I got mine, it is not hard to bypass at all.

This would basically be a sure proof one that I would like to own someday, plus it can be used w/ other alarms.

Look @ the immoblizer part...thats what our kill switch versions are.

Removing the wheel might be the ultimate but a pair or two of Channel Lock pliers would still allow somesteering. It would be a hassle though.
