Has anyone here actually got their rims stolen before?
i'd say atleast a few people on here have or know someone who has..

These rims require special inverted lug nuts, as the stud hole is smaller than a normal rim. They also come stock with the addon that is required to remove the nuts.
haha your shout?

yeah..sadly it seems that way.
does anybody know what happens with insurance in this case? say if you had full comprehensive? i wouldn't imagine it'd be easy to get your money/replacement wheels
if they want the wheels they will take them, period.
and remember, the harder it is for them to get them off, the more damage to your car they are likely to cause
some kids garage
A true car enthusiast appreciates the time, effort and money put into ANY sort of car, modified in ANY sort of style, whether they may like it or not.
unless you know who done it, would you pay whatever excess you pay for replacement wheels?

Get a good alarm system with a tilt sensor. Set it to 1 or 2 degree tilt. +lock nuts.
Thats your best bet.
Or if your baller, get hydraulic suspension and before you lock and leave your car... Slamm it on its **** so that way no jacks can fit under it it LOL
(make sure you have no rear tow hook access for them to use as a jacking point)
Btw locknuts did save my shitty wheels once, not sure why they would wanna steal it but some idiot tried and couldnt undo the locknut (even i didnt have the key to it). My friends and i heard noises from my rear wheels late night at the carwash and turned out i was driving around with only 1 nut on the wheel, the locknut. Found the rest of the nuts lying around at my usual parking spot.
Even Bob Jane took like 30mins+ and $50 to get those locknuts out.
My last set of wheels used barrel nuts which needed a hex key because it sat in deep, and then i got locknuts with that retarded shaped key.
