I filed the police report, got the insurance claim moving forward. I don't have a deductible so thats good. Things could be worse...they could of stolen my car. 
As i said before...i think i am going to spend my money on some new wider tires, WHEEL LOCKS, an eibach prokit and maybe some spacers for my stock 17's.
They're 17's but i keep'em clean.
Why is everyone hating on the TSW's thruxtons. I like that wheel.
I bought them 4 years ago...has their stock dropped dramatically or something?

To be honest, they must be sympathetic to your loss/situation, because the replies in this thread are no where near as bad as i thought they would be......

I really didn't want to buy wheel locks for my car...after seeing this I feel as though I should. Very sorry to hear and see this. May want to check your local craigslist and/or ebay for any new listings of these wheels. Man, this is depressing.

That is terrible, surprised they targeted TSW. Not that they are ugly wheels, but just doenst seem worth the risk for them.. then again those guys are usually dipshits.

Yeah $0 deductible on comprehensive and $1000 on collision instead of doing $500 and $500.
The way my insurance agent said explained it to me.....if you're being robbed or vandalized why would you want to pay out of pocket for it. If you're at fault in an accident...might as well pay for your mistakes.

Damn, sorry to hear that. I know how you feel though cuz' it happened to me, also but they only got the two front wheels on mine. I got a Viper alarm with remote and some wheel locks, car hasn't been touched since (it's been about 2 years now).

Save your money until you can get into a better situation when you get the insurance claim.
There are plenty of options that you can pursue when the time comes around.
Sorry to see this happen man, thieves should be publicly stoned Medieval-style.

realistically you'll prolly come out ahead on the situation. New tires, new wheels.
Besides the hassle of not having the car, that's why you pay for insurance. I wished someone woulda stole my stock wheels off my G. Easily a 3000$ settlement and hello Works.
