Nope they don't.... I need to pick up a set of locking ones though. The kid that I bought mine from paid $175 a piece to get them powdercoated gunmetal. They are awesome and I would not be happy to come out from school and see my car sitting on it's belly or gone entirely for that matter.






Note to self: Alarm, locking lug nuts, and trained attack chimpanzee in the trunk

I really hope that this thread isn't serious. Most dealerships do have some sort of security implemented so I really don't recommend trying it.

If you believe... It can be done.

http://www.wusa9.com/news/news_artic...?storyid=57419

lol anyway in all honesty, as much as stealerships rip people off, I don't condone stealing bc the consequences (if you get caught) far outweigh the gain of gold wheels. (or silver..)

How the h*ll did they steal 68 rims in an hour? Where did they put all the rims for transport. Give them credit though, jacking up a suv, removing the wheels, and putting it on blocks in under 4 minsl. Pretty impressive.

Ooh, ooh, I was told a story of a subaru dealership getting sti wheels stolen. the thief tried to sell them on a forum board, and the members basicyly came to the guy's house via large angry mob, and took the wheels back to the dealership. So um, I wouldnt try...

But i will see if I can find that story
