Default IS 250 on Cinder Blocks...Adivice?

I was woken up Sunday morning by my neigbor to let me know my rims have been stolen. I had 19' TSW Thruxtons Gunmetal. Does anyone have any stock OEM's for sale or know of a good setup that is fairly cheap? Also, on my new rims I want to put better wheel locks any suggestions?

lesson learned, always keep the stockies just in case... dosent matter what locks you slap on they want it they will take it.

Keep your Is2 in the garage if you rocking wheels... ppl tho'd these days.

^ I don't see why he would make something like that up..

Sorry to hear.. but karma will get them.
Did you make a police report? I'd check craigslist to see if you can find your wheels and get the cops involved.

You can also check the wheels classified section, sometimes people are selling stockies. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...lassifieds-41/
Good luck.

Sorry to hear that, that sounds like a craptacular way to start your morning. I agree that wheelocks are pretty useless against thievery. Maybe use a car cover if you don't have a garage to park it in.

You can check the forum classified or even the craigslist classifieds. I periodically see people selling their stockies for pretty dirt cheap.

If I were you I would buy two completely different types of wheel locks. I learned my lesson the hard way after my Volk G-games got jacked of my integra. So when I got my project kics lug nuts w/ locks, I bought a second set of Gorilla wheel locks. Gotta make the crooks at least think twice before attempting to jack you. Not everybody can just pull in a garage if one is not conveniently located next to your apartment building or house. Lol.

Sorry for your loss. That's a big hit! You gotta be 2 steps ahead of the thieves. Look in classifieds or craigslist for wheels.

That's what I figured. I don't have a garage but I am getting a gun. Let's see what insurance pays out.
