I am, just need to wait until the vendor opens on the west coast. Also getting a garage today. It's going to end up being a walk to my apartment but oh well.

Can't have nice things.

Nope, but I'm sure I'll get to see them in person pretty soon. She's got an extra bottle of Motul brake fluid that I'm going to buy off her

I'm half tempted to just sell the new wheels with the tires and go back to OEM.

Work through it. Do not go backwards.

I'm just aggravated because I don't know if the damn thing just came off when I was breaking them in or if someone is really trying to take them. And now I'll just have to spend more money for a garage because the complex decided to not have security like they told us they would. Excuse me while I go punch something.

honestly locks are pretty easy to remove with the right tools. if the bandits (bandits

) wanted to steal them they would've already taken them.

that said, i think your tire place either forgot to torque that one lock, or a squirrel came by and took it home with him to find a matching key.

on the garage. you just have to work harder when you want nice things. its just the way it its.

it's more effective to get a tilt sensor installed vs wheel locks imho.

I'm thinking it came off yesterday evening. I heard something when driving home and asked my husband if he saw anything on the road before we heard it. They told me to come back after 100 miles to retorque and I ended up going 200 since they were closed Sunday.

You don't want to sell them already.
