Wheel locks are pretty easy to remove. To a seasoned wheel thief, the only thing they can do is slow their theft down a little. I think the OP made good move with the Viper alarm though

I am so sorry for the loss!!! The Honda community is a bunch of thieves!

I hope this all ends well with you and you are able to replace them with as little trouble as possible!

In November of '06, my 2001 Acura Integra was also broken into (attempted theft of vehicle) in my current apt. complex. Orlando is in desperate need of more policemen.

what an ignorant comment, of course a honda owner stole them to use on his civic. Who cares if the lug pattern and offset are wrong...

Sad to hear about your loss. Still can't figure why somebody would steal factory Z wheels

EXACTLY. redlude97 while I understand your logic, you need to understand that the Honda community wouldn't necessarily steal these to USE them, but rather to SELL them off ASAP because they have no idea what they're used for. The pretty penny the earn from this kind of behavior is exactly what goes back into ricey mods for their cars.

Also, the pretty penny that they earn while selling these things will just go back into their own cars as ricey mods.

Oh yeah, I hear about it all the time, too. Unfortunately, it will only get worse here in Orlando.

I'll bet 90% of 350z/G35 owners can't explain wheel offsets, just look at how many times the "will these wheels fit my car?" threads come up here. Every group of car owners has a large portion of idiots, but to generalize to an entire group is ignorant. I'll bet $100 that 90% of Hondas are stock and owned by families, so are you saying they are all thieves? Get of your high horse, the Z isn't the ultimate car, and owning a better car doesn't give you the right to talk down to others.

You're right, but maybe he meant that other "10%" when he said community.
