the question is did he have locking lugs? If you have all locking lugs then they will be less likely to try to take your rims. Unless they REALLY want yours they will find a set with one locking lug on each rim or no locking lugs. That is why i like mine, you need a tool to take the center cap off to reach the lugs and then i have all locking lugs

that really does suck because they had the key and all. I think usually they don't bother if it has them on all. I think i might switch mine out now. Find me some nice ones with a rare key. Will get a second one. Inthewerks where did you get your rims, discount? Because that is where i got mine and i'm a little worried now because i think they just use two different kinds of keys. Think I'm going to pepboys next paycheck. Sorry for the long post just i'm paranoid a little now.
