My thoughts on this have always been "if the thief wants it bad enough... he's going to get it". That's what insurance is for.
Agreed...

Years ago I had a $3500 set of Momo's on my car, along with 2 different sets of lug nut locks.

They still got my rims... Of course, they took the whole car out of a parking lot, up to a deserted street nearby, and spent the time getting my rims. The PD found my car the very next day, in almost perfect shape, with nothing else missing but the rims.

I say "in almost prefect shape" because they were kind enough to drop the car on its brake rotors & drums once they got the rims off. So there was some damage that needed repairing. I think that was their "F- you, smartass" gift to me.

Yeah, insurance covered it all. And I haven't been tempted by aftermarket rims since. But I do still use lug nut locks... You want these rims? Go find another stock car like mine and take theirs!
