No way. I'm sorry to hear about this. This hits close to home I remember talking to you at a meet.

I'll keep an eye out in my area.

I had to chase some people away from my car this spring.

I wish it was that easy. But that costs a lot of money so not even worth.

Sucks to hear man those wheels looked awesome on your car

something we mechanics do with tools, etch your driver's license number onto them. ask to see the wheels, find the number, grab a cop and come back. even a cop wouldn't be stupid enough to not understand the odds that the number matching your DL# isn't coincidence or lack of proof of ownership.

or Put a dog tracker device on the inside of one of the crevises in the forging and close it. I saw a thread on the m3 Forum where a guy grabbed a chip devise and put it in the wheel to track it in the even of a theft

Code name for the wheels was Max lol

park in a garage at night is probably the bes thing you can do.
other then that you can buy multiple wheel locks and a tilt alarm system. but i would stick to parking in a garage.
