      The only oem wheels I hear about being stolen are off escalades. This is the third set I have head about in the past 2 months. Same deal to, woke up to the suv on cinder blocks

        11k!?! ouch, I bet Bob could hook him up for way cheaper. It must be the same people stealing these rims, maybe we should keep track of who is buying cinder blocks lol

                  I can guarantee you, if these guys are pro wheel theives, locks would not have stopped them. Locks only keep out honest people...

                          That's why my cars never go East of Deerfoot after dark.

                          Good thing my Hyundai came with oem wheel locks (HAR HAR HAR)

                            yeah. i mean the wheels get stolen, but 7 years later i get my revenge. it's a lose-win situation.

                              This happened a couple years ago on a friends Dodge truck with the factory 20's. I guess they are also quite popular.

                              That looks way safer than his, they stacked up bricks under his axle on a steep driveway and he's lucky the whole truck didn't fall off on to the brakes.

                              That sucks though. I never leave the expedition out after dark.
