Wheel locks do nothing but slow them down, and not much at that.

WTF. I'm sorry to hear that man. Now I don't feel that bad about not having had them on when mine were stolen. The best thing is really the alarm with tilt sensor. Having no wheel locks or alarm is really asking for it as far as thieves are concerned. Basically all it takes is you leaving your car one place and they spot it, they take them.

I recommend checking craigslist for new ads for 370z wheels and trying to get the person with the police. As far as thefuture, I'd try and get a check from insurance for replacement cost and get yourself some nice aftermarket wheels. And get a viper with tilt sensor immediately. Your car is not safe without it.

Do you guys think that nice OEM wheels are stolen more than aftermarket wheels bc they are easier to sell and hard to prove the ownership? Or you think that aftermarket wheels are stolen more?

The Houston Cops have said that the stock items are stolen more than the aftermarket items. They also communicated that the hottest theft target in Houston right now is the 2009-10 Ford F-250 Truck. Go figure...
