i guess with all the rims and tire shops around, fencing these should be a piece of cake.

Time to get some wheel locks...er...maybe 2 sets with different patterns will do it.

Must have been aftermarket wheels! Ever thought about that?
When I saw the white TL, I was like, 'damn'! Reminded me when the shit happened to me about 8 years ago. Had a 1G Legend with some chrome rims, woke up one morning to go to work, and my car was sitting on some old ass jacks and bricks, lol!

Nope, they were the stock TL-S rims, my friends dealership shipped the wheels/tires out to the owners today.

I'm not worried about my RL or TL wheels being stolen, they're stock

Probably because they are one of those manufacturers that don't put wheel locks on the car from the factory or port....Even my GTI came with them standard...
