this might sound noob, but how did they jack the rims? like did the thieves actually carry a jackstand with them and take the rims one at a time then lay the car on bricks? im asking this cuz if they carried jackstands why would you need bricks? can't you just drop the car to the ground?

I'm sure they didn't carry jackstands. Rather maybe just one or two jacks. That's pretty much all you would need.

They needed the bricks so they didn't have to leave the jackstands under the car

LOL... one at a time. No history of sales on ebay, but he has OEM tire and rims for sale!

check it out

Note: for some reason Symantec AV wants to block this page. in the event it tries that on you, I just did a search on ebay for "OEM M3 rims" within 200 miles of 91748.

Whether you have wheel locks or not, if they want the wheels, they can get them.
