You'll be fine.

You have insurance, right? They should cover it should they get stolen - it's a hassle, yes, but not the end of the world.

they go by oem price which is usually more than aftermarket. your insurance could also cover aftermarket wheels if you keep your receipts. it depends on your insurance i guess. plus any damage they do to the car, also should be covered under your comprehensive coverage.

that's one thing i changed on my Z and G's insurance policy. i dont park my cars anywhere, they are garaged, i can fix my own dings and most scratches. no sense paying for $0 comprehensive when i can do most of the repairs. went with $500. that's about the price where i would need to get professional help.

hummmm....that sounds like im crazy.

So....somehow one of my locking lugs is missing. There are no scratches around the area and the stud is still there. I'm not sure if this means it fell off somehow or if someone deliberately took it to get a key made up and come back to get the wheels.....

you know...disclaimer: I have only talked about doing this...
How hard or illegal is it to wire things up so that your vehicle will set off a shock when touched?
I'm assuming this is illegal or it would be common place.
But grrrr, thieves annoy the h3ll outra me.

lol good idea but not going to work it would interfere with a bunch of other things since majority of the car is metal and conducts electricity

basically you would have one big short circuit once you turned it all on for the first time…… might do a lot of damage to your cars electrical system to!

best bet is to buy some kind of security system either an alarm or a dash cam.

another option is buy two sets of locks so they need to use the special tool two times more per wheel thus making it more difficult and taking a lot longer. also the lock removal tool is only good for so many uses before you need another and they are not the cheapest
