oh man, tht sucks so bad, im sorry that happened to you. maybe instead of a locking nut, you could install a tiny gps chip in each rims so next time it does happen to you, you know where to find them with the swat team raiding their asses under your control!!! muwahhaha all kidding aside you could get police to raid at the most realistic version.. gps chip could totally guarantee u get your rims back.

Just an update.
Been talking to the repair shop and insurance, and instead of getting the stock wheels, actually more to wait on them, both of them are allowing me to get aftermarket wheels and tires for my car. The quote for my original wheels were 3200 to get here once located, and the tires are 900 in the size and brand they were. So I had 4100 to play with.
I chose to go with a TSW Rivage 20x8.5 in Gloss Black Machined finish with Falken FK452 in 245/35/20 tires.
This ended up being under 1800 for everything installed on the bill/quote for this setup.
So they are going to over pay the repair shop and get me a nice refund, so I can put on the alarm and locking lugs. This was all verified by the insurance. They were actually adament on making sure we were taken care of in full. So needless to say, quite happy with State farm.
Here is a picture of the wheels I am getting
I should have the car hopefully by next week ready to go. I will then post up pictures of how the car looks with the new shoes!
Thanks for reading
