WTF!!! Sorry to see this happened to ya, I know exact feeling and still do when I got my DC2 GSR jacked from Houston not too long ago that was never recovered. What part of Houston did this happened and place? I pray everyday and hope my wheel locks hold up against these lowlife thieves for the time being until I get out of my apt. complex.

If someone wants your wheels, wheel locks are not going to do much to stop them. There are tools available that will just as easily remove a wheel lock as sockets do a standard lug nut.
If you got fancy wheels, be considerate of where you're parking. Maybe some sort of motion or movement sensor for the alarm might help too. This should at least keep the amateurs away.

What area of Houston did this happen in?
I'll definitely try to be on the lookout for a new set of OEM G37 wheels that pops up on CL or on any of the local Houston / Texas forums.

I do park in the area where I see deemed safest (front near with 24/7 gate guard) but I can't always because the complex is open parking or pay $60 a month for assigned
pray for me people so I won't be victimized twice!!

Funny this happens to you, right on the heels of a conversation I had with an INFINITI sales manager. He told me that wheel locks weren't worth the hassle of possibly losing the key, especially when stealing wheels isn't common these days. Sorry this had to happen to you, but make sure you come back on the scene with some sick wheels!

Same thing happened to my boy two weeks after he got his G. Decent neighborhood and all, he found it sitting on bricks on the way to work (no wheel locks). Cop said it usually happens on a rainy day because not a lot of people roam the streets (Brooklyn). Anyway, wheel locks is good practice regardless.

So, I woke up this morning and my car was jacked! ALL tires and rims were gone. I'm not sure if wheel locks were present b/c i couldn't locate a key in the first aid kit, nor the pouch containing the manual. WTF?! Is this what's hot in the streets? Infiniti stock/factory rims?? I guess...I filed my police report and insurance claim upon discovery. I do have comprehensive insurance so I'm not too worried, but will they really give you 5 RACKS to replace tires and rims? The Infiniti Parts rep told me sometimes the ins. co. will try to get you refurbished rims, but new tires. This blows! 
Argh, pains me to see this. Sorry to hear, bro. However, remember that every cloud has a silver lining. Now you can get new Volks!!!
