Sorry to hear that--thats pretty bullshit to steal OEM's...the only rims that get stolen here are pimpworthy...this is why I have all locking gorilla anodized black lugs. cost me $50 bux. lifetime warranty.

That sucks to hear. Wheel locks! It's not a surprise to me that people steal OEM. OEM alloys are nice and classy. Probably more OEMs get stolen than aftermarket.

I was at Sonic last Saturday around 10 but no one was there. Did you guys change location? but ill see if i can make it to next meet cuz my car is in the shop now...hopefully i get it before Saturday...I am getting the 08 HFP's , didn't like the 09 alloy wheels....plus since I got these wheels instead of the OE ones it saved Geico 1000$ and they waived my $500 deductible ...this event was a blessing in disguise…

Correction qbmurderer13: you'll be the second guy with a GE there.
