Man I would have had the insurance cut me a check. I would have even told them to give me 1/2 lol. You could have bought some used stocks and some after markets. WOW.

I recently bought a set of oem 19s wheels from a forum member and I purchased a set of Gorilla locking lugs. With these locks every lug is a lock and makes it just a little bit harder for a thief to get them off the car. Like someone else said a determined thief will not be stopped be at least I can make it i bit more difficult for him.

Every g37 owner should have wheel locks. It is true that they not always help; However its from minority.

My insurance didn't offer me a cash option :|
I got some wheel locks from Infinity but they will just cause a small delay
Someone can just buy something like this

In Canada, the replacement rims and tires from the dealer will cost about 7500 cad
Any chance the storage has surveillance cameras around the building?

For your rims, I wouldn't even consider the dealer. Buy a good used set on this site, they're typically selling for around $1k.

People like this should be put down... Thieves are the worse kind of people if you can even call them people. I hope insurance has taken care of you.
