ps lock nuts are looking good right now for you.
Here is a full pic. And actually after riding on them for 2 or 3 days now, they sort of grew on me. My ride is a lot smoother and seems more stable at high speeds.

Yeah. All four of my bolts are locking lugnuts now. But I'm still running out to my car every hour to check on it. I don't know what I'd do if these rims got stolen.

dude you know those theifs are going to come back for those rims now. Definately they're probably laughing that you put nicer ones on. GARAGE or really sensitive shock alarm so it sets off if someone taps it or loud car goes by. Also i don't understand how they jacked the rims but didn't put bricks or anything under it....how does that work? wouldn't you get your jack or something stuck under it? Those stock rims get stolen a lot. They're pretty decent stock rims. I had them stolen off my car when my ENTIRE car got stolen but i got it back but with ugly old old stock rims on it now.

Well they left 4 jacks under four corners of my car to hold it up while they took my rims off. Then they just left the jacks there. I got locking bolts and hopefully I can turn the sensativity on my alarm up. I think that's pretty much all they can do.

:dunno: The rims probebly sell for around $700 - $800 on the street. How much do 4 cheapy little jacks cost? $40? Maybe? These wern't heavy duty jacks, they were the cheap kind that come with your car to change a spare tire.

member when the Evo's came out. well dealership had 5 of em sitting out on the lot with no lock nuts (hadnt received them yet) and a bunch of thugs stole all 5 sets of wheels not to mention destroyed the cars in the process. What they did was they took off all the lug nuts and shook the car untill the wheels popped off, letting the car fall to the ground. a couple of them had bent frames and the others got away with ruined bumpers and rotors. the ones without frame damage were sold used with 0 miles.

but seriously, that really sucks that that happened. I have GSR wheels (the pre 98 kind) I am wondering if those are stolen at all. I hope not....if so im prob gonna get another set of locks for those.

damn ass craps who took the evos rims.

i have the 97-gsrs, 98-01 ls mesh rims, i love them, and the first thing i got on them were the lock nuts. I mean they look a crap load better then the steelies with the 5 lug hub caps i had.
