First S550 wheel theft I've seen

[RevvdMedia]

Although there is the heartbreak of losing your wheels, I think I'd personally be more pissed that someone left my car on cinder blocks - damaging the rockers/maybe frame/front or rear brake rotors/front or rear bumper, etc.

Some people need to be shot.

i should really get to installing the wheel locks that came with the security package

Yeah... Me too :eyebulge:

I'm pretty sure if a thief wants your wheels bad he is going to get them off even with wheel locks. I'm sure there are tools to rip them off fast without the key and not damage the wheel.

The locks might deter some thieves; but it's not 100% a theft-proof system.

u mean thieves dont have access to these?

You know these wheels are stolen to be resold--how about scum bags that buy stolen auto parts? Just look through Kajiji and you can tell whats stolen--wheels, cameras and phones that don't come with the cables you name it. If law enforcement started putting folks in jail that buy stolen goods there won't be anyone stealing goods

Damn just noticed how the rear is sitting. Rotors might be damaged too.

Yeah just what I look forward to do...pay more taxes to house folks in the jail system.

Hearing the commentators voice on the video...sounds like a great neighborhood for a new bling ride...just saying.

Well, one plus the 911 GT3 has...center locking nut. You definitely need a special tool for that. Not that I could even come close to having one, but it's nice to dream.

Shame that people do this. Thanks Obama.

I have the optional "20's...

Gorilla Guard #61641 with one key (14mm X 1.5 long) ...#616412K with two keys...they fit perfect...and don't stick out...barely noticeable...

This is where I purchased mine...

$16.88 (full set...with one key) plus shipping... http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/GOR61641.htm

$19.84 (full set...with two keys) plus shipping... http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/GOR616412K.htm ...I ordered 2 keys package in case I lose one...

No lock is perfect...but these have a rotating outer sleeve...and will slow down amateur thieves...and hopefully they'll move on to an easier target...


:doh:

wheel locks may not stop them, but it would make them think about moving on to a different car.

Not if they want THOSE wheels. :doh:
This car was targeted. I bet no other car was touched in the parking lot.

 

[Lsstefan]

They could at least have the decency to put blocks on all sides to not damage the rest of the car.
Freakin morons...

 

[cbrookre]

Why oh WHY was this video shot in portrait mode? Really a mistake.

If I came out and my wheels were taken I would really be shocked, have had my car broken into but never wheels stolen...

 

[Barrel]

Security package should also have the tilt-sensing alarm. Gotta take the locking lugs off while the alarm is blaring...That's a whole lotta attention.

 

[Justpassingas]

Anything I hate worse then a liar is a THIEF....and nobody saw anything in a big parking lot like that???....I'm sure it had to take some time even removing 4 tires quickly...BAST*RDS!!!!
