I'm sure if that was the case they would find "refurbished wheels" for around $250 - $300 a piece.

Note to self: Go buy wheel locks.
Wheel locks wont do much, all they will do is slow the crooks down and **** them off and in the end if they really really want the wheels they will get them. A buddy of mine once told me that if he wants your wheels hes gonna get them and if you have wheel locks he gonna take it as a slap in the face and take something a little extra.

But yes, buy some wheel locks anyways cause it may slow the crooks down enough to get them caught.

Atleast they didn't leave the car on the ground and put it on bricks.

your insurance may not cover aftermarket wheels but they will cover the stock rims, witch are usually pretty expensive through the dealer. and it should be covered under comprehensive and should not raise your premium.


Guess im late on this info..........

Get a badass alarm with motion sensors and body heat detetection that can detect up to 20ft away from the car. If the crooks do not comply, the car will automatically have terminators come from the future and handle the crooks.

Then your dad can come out in the morning and find the crooks ftw
