I read the first post like he needed 4 spares just to get the car up on a tow truck (flatbed, I hope) to get it to the shop to make sure nothing else got dicked up.

Any of them that will give you a check for the replacement factory costs.

I think its breaks down like this
Sport Wheels- $ 3.5-4k
TPMS sensors- $ 800
OEM Tires- $ 1400
Mounting, balancing, misc labor $200

That is all rough estimates so give or take a few hundred.

I like the sound of this.. thanks cody.

You guys think its a good idea to put on a nice set again after the first set was stolen, theres a good chance it could happen again...just my personal opinion.

Wheel locks dude. ALL my wheels have 2 wheel locks on them. It's definitely a deterrence and a prevention measure in itself.

Yeah no it isn't. Professional wheel thieves will always have a master set. Hell, most shops have a master key they can use on your wheels so long as they know what the pattern looks like.
If a professional thief really wants your wheels, they're going to get them.

The best deterrent is a car alarm with a tilt sensor.

Man if someone stole my wheels, I'd go get Volk G2s or maybe GT-R wheels.

Well technically nothing is a deterrent to a professional anything. But 40 wheel locks in all is definitely something someone doesn't want to go through. For that last post... I meant each "nut" has 2 wheel locks.

This is what I have. Two keys required for each nut. And they drive from the inside so they don't ruin your wheels with accidental scratches or rubs from whatever tool is used.

Yeah that was my mistake DM. I meant each nut..so 20 in all have 2 locks a piece.
