Thumbs up Can your wheels get stolen if you're slammed?

Is it possible for wheels to be stolen if your car is slammed? I mean you can't even fit a jack under the car without using 2x4s. Still deciding whether or not to get legit work wheels or to keep my reps since I park outside my driveway. Thanks guys!

They just need to break into the car for the tow hook or bring their own, screw it into the front bumper and drag it up onto the flatbed.

Just get a set of wheel locks and a key. Or get two different sets and two keys. My wheels were stolen off my g37 and it was lowered but it was on springs and not super low...

Can't you add insurance on the wheels after you get them?

Do you guys think it's a good idea to get legit wheels parking on my driveway? Can't make up my mind. I'm just a little paranoid, but if someone were to break in my car i would definitely know. Decisions Decisions...

90% of this forum is rolling on aftermarket wheels.... like I said get locks and don't worry about it too much. if it happens, it happens, but insurance will take care of you.... Allstate paid me almost $7,000 total when my wheels got stolen. I bought my Vossens and pocketed the rest. Did not repair the sideskirts or front bumper because all the damage was underneath.

Insure them. Get an alarm and some wheels locks.

Wow.. My car is pretty low but not slammed... Was it possible to fit jacks under your car?
Cause I have impul sides, I need to drive up 2x4s I think they are going to have a hard time. But like others here mentioned... it's still possible.

My g35 needs ramps/floor jack. My g37 was not that low.

By insuring wheels.. Do you mean insuring the wheels alone by contacting my provider or does 100% comprehensive work?
