Don't get the "gun fever" lol

Sorry about your wheels, keep an eye on on Craigslist for them.

Be safe with the gun. If you're in the orlando area my father in law is a dealer

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.

Ya, I must have forgotten that the internet is serious business and everyone tells the truth.. SMH

True, that's why he needs a gun and a dog.

You could always attempt my DIY. Luckily no one has attempted to take my rims, but if they do they are going to get a shock when the horn starts honking.

Maybe you could get an air suspension so the thieves won't have anywhere to jack up your car.

*****... totally sorry to hear about that...

It would be cool of the tpms can be integrated with a GPS transceiver. That way, the police can visit these crooks...and hopefully shoot a few of them in the process.

Check the classied section, someone has a post for the 18" stock rims for $400 (plus shipping and paypal) fees.

Anyone is welcome to take a baseball bat to my car--for $200 deducible I get a new paintjob--what is not to love about that--stopping the heist could get me killed or worse, with a cellmate who wants me to be his lady...

Personally, I'd say shoot him in the knee cap cus that really hurts. Cut your hand approximately 1 inch every so softly. Put the knife next to him. Shoot him in the other knee cap cus it really does hurt. Call the cops.
