I’ve yet to have anyone steal my wheels, but if they even did, I’ll get a new set of wheels and tires for $100. I’m more worried about catalytic converter theft, I’m interested in a guard for the one on my truck, but I guess I should just let insurance deal with that also if it happens.

I paid $37 for mine after tax and they installed them at no charge during inspection. Side note: they are packaged as Mopar parts, but they say McGaurd right on them.

You moving to the rough side of town soon? Check out Hood Hellcats on u-tube to see why tires are such hot items.😂

I'd be more worried about how they remove the wheels and what other damage they do addict:to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively ....hmmmm
