**sorry about the thread jack**

I replaced the locks with regular ones, do people steal rims these days?? I think the risk of losing the key is higher than of my rims getting stolen. Has any member had rims stolen off any car they have owned?

My salesman handed me mine when he gave me the keys.
He had them installed when they were preping the car.
Nice touch as I had not even thought of them when haggling over price etc.

Edit - retract that. I just noticed they are standard and he made me think they were thrown in.

I might have to take a ride to the dealer, I can't find it anywhere. I want to paint my calipers this weekend.
