Yeah, locking lug nuts? Or maybe a pit bull. But then, I suppose a determined thief (aka: 
) can get around any countermeasures.
Sorry about your loss.

Rep Power: 281 sadly locking nuts are easy to remove too. Most of the time around here the whole car is stolen and stripped elsewhere. I've had wheels/tires stolen but not off anything recent and these were not easy ones to steal - huge 4x4 wheels/tires in the 32" range.

Rep Power: 310 i'd stay away from rims if your gonna to expect it to happen again. its a risk i would not take..
if you have the money for 3rd sets of wheels, look forward investing into an car alarm first. a car alarm can do much more then wheels imo.
