Tilt sensor... well **** me to hell, I didn't even know that existed. Sounds expensive as ****, but if it is just a couple hundred bucks, it is worth it.
I'm going to invent a wheel lock that works with a combination only, I swear.

I'll tell you this they prolly got a lock remover its for stripped nuts and lugs (i used to work at wheel works) so this would make wheel locks useless cuz you can put it on any lug and just twist it off( but requires a lot of force) but this is just my thoughts.

The other solution is to not have nice looking wheels at all on your car. Get the plainest ugliest ones possible that thieves will have a hard time selling, they will then want to go after something more popular.

Hire brucelee to spend the nights on your roof with a sniper rifle...
...and have him shoot anyone who looks like they're stealing your rims.
