Damn TE's? That sucks man!!

You need to become friends with a good body shop so they could have helped you buy some aftermarket wheels instead of the OEM's with the insurance money.

Yeah, I wish I had a chance to bring the car to a body shop I know. My insurance agent is where I got the car from in a Nissan dealer. So they wanted me to bring the car directly there to cover all damage. Otherwise I would have aftermarket wheels + a supercharger with 7K lol

Muteki locking lugs (where all five lugs are locks and need to be hand torqued on and off) + aftermarket alarm with two proximity sensors and tilt sensor = some peace of mind for me.

You use that $7k and spend it on your new wheels and tires, you don't have to buy thru the dealer.
