Dunno man, a Z on blocks is terrifying to look at. Can anyone confirm it?

I have a set of Kics R40's, it looks like the adapter they provide has to be used on all of the lug nuts(haven't put them on yet), there isnt a special locking nut in the set.

The R26 has the lock nuts. Project Kics does sell the locks separately, available at Performance Nissan it seems. But question was, are all the lock nuts the same, or are there different sizes?

don't be a douche, park normal

anyways, sucks about the wheels man. I think you'll be able to get good $$ for the stockers from your insurance company.
How does someones parking Justify the fact that some lowlife douchebag that can not work for a living, stole his wheels? A theif is a theif, and they will steal whatever they can regardless of the situation.

Guess I have to invest in an aftermarket alarm with two way paging. I think bottom line is if someone wants your stuff bad enough, they'll get it. Only thing you can do is try to deter them enough so they move on and look for another easier target

Nobody said that it justified anything. It does seem to set some people off as far as vandalism is concerned and could draw the same attention of a thief.

why? by the time you get out of whatever store, there's a VERY good chance your stuff will still be gone, or you might get shot/stabbed as they leave. it's JUST STUFF, your life is worth more...

I would have taken a picture of the car on blocks from a distance with Nordstroms store in the back ground and post it all over the internet as an advertising campaign for them..lol
On a brighter note, you will do very well with the insurance $$$$ if you have a good insurance company..The wheels cost in the area of $900-$1100 a piece not including tires and TPS sensors and any "Damage" they may have caused...If you need a set of stock rims to roll on for the winter hit me up, we always have some stock wheels laying around..
We actually buy them from some Honda kids that come around once and a while, just picked up a set last week in fact..(just kidding man..lol) Seriously, if you need to get rolling we can help you out..

Maybe someone wanted insurance money? Maybe wanted some new wheels?

If not im terribly sorry for the loss of wheels. Just seems kinda fishy why it would be so neet and not afraid of getting cought.

Sorry for your loss
