370Z 40th anniversary rims+tires stolen!

Sovwheel locks aren't standard with nissans? Everytime I buy a new nissan I have wheel locks with my car. That's crazy? I'm sorry about you getting robbed. There's nothing lower

I'm sorry about you getting robbed. There's nothing lower than rapists and thieves. Its so scummy low and grimey. But there is the insurance bright side. Get the insurance company to pay for michelin PILOT SPORT SS tires. better performance and will last a little longer than the brridgestones.

I also have wheel locks and a sensitive tilt sensor (sucks parking night out of the town cuz it's the first to alarm). The reason it's sensitive is because my friend owns a business installing alarms on cars and we use to go to Hot Import Nights and prove a point their alarms sucked. We got around tilt sensors before and able to steal rims without setting it off. wheels all gone in 10 minutes as well.

Those McGard wheel locks could hold their own triggering the tilt sensor. However, 1 big problem is if they scouted and tried like 5 attempts, they probably have enough keys to find the matching one. They do that a lot on very high end wheels where they spend day 1 identifying the key and day 2 finding/making something that will get rid of the key.

Just wanted to update everyone on this since its relevant to my old post -

I did get new rims and tires through the insurance, but I had to pay my $500 deductible which sucked. At the end though, that's what we have insurance for, right?

Anyway, here's the best part. Police are getting closer and closer.

Nissan has a stock factory add on. You. Guys should really look at the website thoroughly before buying cars. There are way more options than what you see on the standard option list.
