Those are some expensive *** wheels too. Almost 2,000 a wheel + tires...you should be getting a nice fat almost 10,000 check from your insurance.

Yes u know at first I was like let me try to do that ...and for 2 days I checked ebay and craigslist...but then I was like - ehh F this let me check good ol Club Lexus and sure enuff found a member here that was selling a set fo 2010 wheels --in EXCELLENT condition- better than the wheels they stole.
Paid for them, he shipped, got the wheels and all is well

The neighborhood wasnt a bad neighborhood - just targeted my car, I think because people "thieves" who know what it is & ..know that the parts are worth a lot. Granted the greatest day in the world would be to catch the people as they are doing it to your car...so you can tie them to the back of your F and see how far you can drag them before the rope pops..lol

.but lets face it thats never gonna happen

Except insurance works on the principal of indemnity and you will not make a profit by having a loss. They will pay replacement cost for the wheels and tires.

Yes it's a sad thing to see and wheel locks don't work very well. In the case of Lexus, there are only a "handful" of different "keys" anyway so obtaining the correct key would be relatively easy thing.

Wheel locks are not standard gear on the 2012, although most are sold with locks as part of an accessory package.
