It would have taken them awhile to get all 4 wheels huh? Was this in broad daylight?

I'd put more than 1 lock on each wheel.``

I like 2 at least cause if they got off all 4 and they were smart they would have pryed the rim off by breaking the bolt. Which we know isn't that hard.

If anyone wants to steal my wheels they can have em. I got them for way less than retail, so if they got stolen I'd make a nice profit hehe. Still would suck to see your car on bricks though.

16's

a friend of mine had his 97SE oem 16's stolen in front of his house in nyc, left on bricks, shortly after he got his car. i had told him to get wheel locks from the very beginning, and now he has 2 sets. recently i told him to get an autolock, and guess what? he went out to get it.

190hpKiLLa got his OEM 16s stolen.

Get wheel locks...I have my factory ones, but I think I'm gonna get another set just to be on the safe side...especially when I upgrade to my 18s!
