I'm not sure if these are of my mate's brother's car or a friend of his; he has a red 430 now, not sure he ever had a gunmetal one - he's owned sp many amazing cars - but these photos are taken off his Facebook

How anyone who claims to be 'in to cars' can do that is beyond me. It's sickening enough seeing that site when it's your corsa, but that's just wrong.

What the hell are they going to do with three wheels now anyway

as has been said, locl nuts are bugger all to remove (most of the time)
But does involve a bit of noise.
I remember a few years ago they sold a socket called Gator grip. had loads of little pins in it, they were good for removing locknuts without the proper key.
And no I'm not a wheel thief, But I am sick of customers coming in for a 5minute job but they've lost their locking nut key.

they could quite easily sell the wheels individually down the line i would imagine, would get a fair whack for a few minutes work aswell

Do you not think they would have locking wheel nuts on a car like that, do you also think locking wheel nuts would stop who ever wanted the 10k+ alloys stealing them?
I haven't looked properly but I don't think my Dads has locking wheel nuts either.

It's in the background of the first photo, seems to be an F430.
