Did you have locks on the SE wheels? A lot of tuner wheels have very small holes for the lugnuts so this should make it much harder to steal the wheels, even with common hex nuts on them. Unless theives are running around with super thin sockets, you'll be safe. If you are buying more expensive wheels, make sure you get some lugnuts with really a really weird patter for the key. I think companies should start making lugs that are 7, 8 or 9 sided instead of normal hex nuts. They would be much harder to steal.

Unfortunately a thief always figures out a way... I had a crazy alarm and low jack on my Audi and that didn't slow those *******s down at all... They took it in 10 minutes and drove it away......


Oh the bright side, you'll get a price nice check for those wheels from your insurance. Probably 2000-3000. Volk or Advan time!

Cheers!

unfortunately no locks on the wheels. i had a brand new set just sitting in the back seat waiting for me to take the car to work and put them on. but i hardly drive the car so it usually just sits at my apartment.

never knew se wheels were wanted that bad. but live and learn.

so now i gotta shop for some wheels, lip, bumper, side skirt, and fix some damages. ohhh cant forget, viper alarm, some sick *** locks and a little fire power. wonder how far they have to go before i can take action.

hopefully this whole process doesnt take long. i miss my evo already, she feels abused and taken advantage of. hah.

all in all, cant ***** about the past too much, just gotta put that effort to getting it back the way it used to be.

I hate San Antonio...so many thieves. I know the Honda boys are stealing cars left and right but I didn't think Evo's were getting parts stolen from them here. I always keep my Evo garaged though. Nice wheel choice btw!

I hate thieves... I remember how I felt when my Recaros were stolen out of my car.

I have a set of MR BBS and Evo X rims if you need something. I'm located in just north of Austin.

i would probably think about stocks again cause i know i could get them cheap but i dont know how insurance works. they just gonna cut me a check or just give it to shop i take it to? i took it to my work so i know how things are going to be repairs and i can watch it. if they **** up ill just slap them and say. DO IT AGAIN! hah we are all cool with each other at work.
