Didn't your rims come with locking lugs? Mine did, so I assume they all do.
Guess not.

well on the bright side, the cost of the stock wheels might be more than a nice set of aftermarket wheels. get your insurance settlement and buy a nice set of wheels with locking lugnuts.

Re: 2 of my stock rims/tires stolen!

I had a tire stolen once on a different car. They weren't after the rim, as they left me their rim with a flat tire on it, and my tire was sitting on their jack as they weren't smart enough to put something under the wheel.

Wheel locks are the way to go. You can probably pick them up at any auto parts store or your dealership's parts department.

Insurance? Pay the deductible and get some new ones that way? Not an option?

"Ouch!" I'm paying less than a 1/4 of that for 2 vehicles....

But I'm probably paying more per gallon of gas. [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

I pay about 1200 a year. You must be young if your paying that much. That's almost 1/3 of the cost of your car a year.

Yes those will fit your car. Those are the stock 17" sedan wheels, just chromed out.

Good luck and try calling Gecio [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 2 of my stock rims/tires stolen!

as everyone knows the cost in insurance varies wildly. I pay $2000 for the G35, a SHO and a F-150 truck. I also upgraded the limits over the minimum. That way if I do something really stupid, there is a higher amount of money the insurance company will pay before the victims come after me in a civil suit
