Glad you got a new set that makes you happy. Try the Dency 2000 lugs. They are a little pricy but well worth it. I've got a set on each corner along with a few Mcgards, gorilla, etc.
Now This is the Passion; I have for my 95/5speed. lol

Expect the unexpected

I fully dump the bags, then remove air controller. Car is on ground and you cant even get the stock jack under it. Plus wheel locks and parking lot security guard is my anti theft. Sadly they just went for my cbr 1000rr...

It always sucks to see and hear these kinda things happening to our cars. Karma will be a real pain in the neck with the person or people involved. At least you have some new wheels and you will have a deposit made by the insurance company. What did the car look like with the wheels they sold?

At least they put it on blocks. People I used to know would just drop it straight on the ground.

And like Tabaka says, for anyone who is paranoid about their wheels, these are the best wheel locks I have ever seen.

KICS Dency 2000 Locking Lug Nuts:







They have a special magnetic key, which will release the outer cap to expose a locking lug. also the outer cap spins freely, so even if they hammer on a socket, there is no way to grab the actual nut. Pretty dang cool.

Thanks,
Rick
What if they have a magnet

If someone wants your wheels it makes no difference how much you spend on wheel locks. Someone who knows what they are doing can easily get any wheel locks off in minutes. I have seen how easy it is lol. Might stop young kids who don't know what they are doing though. I'm glad my car is low enough to where even a factory jack wont fit without driving up onto blocks

They can be pulled off with a rare earth magnet or mechanic's tool magnet.
Would stop the average thief tho.
