Thank you guys all for sharing my pain on this 
I know it sucks for a 1st post but I did not want anyone else to have this problem if you are not aware of the danger out there with your wheels (I was not lol). we all spend so much time and money on visual & performance upgrades & modifications and sometimes we all skip the most important things. It does not do any good even if you have the best car unless you know how to protect it.
I USED TO have Volk TE37 Wheels (Seibon Edition). You know what really sucks, I waited to get them for a year and they were gone after less than a month. I had insurance but they were only able to put factory rims, talked to dealer to see if I can purchase my old rims and put them on, did not work. So I am stuck with factory rims again after spending all that money on rims and I am trying to make myself happy with NISMO decals on factory rims
I called my insurance and they said I will have to call 911 and have a report# or something from an officer. They sent a 300 pounds dude with a donut and coffee early in the morning. Guy said THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR 350Z'S AND STARTED LAUGHING (???). God knows how hard it was not to punch him in the face. I was like if it is something common on Z's do something about it instead of eating your donut lol.
Hardest part: bringing the car to the dealer with no tires
Good part: I now have brand new shiny factory rims and tires, if you consider this as a good thing
So I am not a wheel lock dealer or something but make sure you get a set

I had Volk TE37 Wheels but you know what dude, it does not matter what you have. Even the factory rims and tires were about 5K, this is what dealer charged my insurance company + labor, tire pressure sensors etc 7K total, I dont know if they ripped them off but they are expensive lol

I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Very safe (?) and gated (?) community. Believe me, if it happened in where I live at, it may happen everywhere else.

Thats the reason I took my wheels off and sold them, ***** fuggin crooks man... cant have anything nice because their always hating on a brotha... it too fuggin hard to work and afford nice things, those SOB's...

100% agree bro. It is stupid to spend that kind of money and let the car sit by itself with no locks no alarm whatsoever. now I know...
