(if you can wait that is)..If not once you get it off, if u buy a new Ford set - get your dealer to record the 'key' number and they will be able to get replacements usually over night..

Also no damage to any rims, I took my time and made sure every swing was on target, my hands copped most of the missed swings.gotta say its relieving to get the things off, free of charge. Now to get some replacements and never lose a key again.

A pro could do it without anyone even noticing. Once your undoing the nuts it looks very normal and not suspicious.If someone really wants your wheels and knows what their doing, they will get your wheels.

If they want them they will get them.Glad you got them off but I wouldn't bother fitting another set.

I remmember goin to see pearl jam a couple of years ago and takin note of the sweet 22's on the 300c I parked next to got back from the gig and it was flat on its guts not only did they steal the wheels they kicked it off the bricks it was on. spewin'
