Wheels stolen. Super advans AND my volks!

Sorry to hear that man. It's one thing when thieves simply steal something, it's another thing when they smash windows and cause more undue damage just for the sake of being an asshole. At least they didn't tear the top. back in the day my sister had an eclipse convertible. She always left the windows down or car unlocked. One night a pair of thieves took everything out of the interior of her car but just for shits and giggles they slashed the convertible top. I had a t-top trans am that they got into as well. They tried to smash the t-tops but that glass was indestructible. Had one fly off at a track day, go up about 100ft in the air and come down with only a scratch lol.
Hopefully karma plays out with these folks though and you get your cars back on the road.

The Gorilla wheel locks are available through Discount Tire stores, as Gorilla doesn't sell directly. My local shop had to order them, however, when I went in to pick them up, they were not the X-2 locks. We'll try again. One set of 4 is $35.00, and a set of 20 is $200.00. A set of these and the chain with locks sound good to me. A chain or two won't prevent the car from being towed. I've seen too many cars just hooked up to the wench of a flat-bed tow truck and off they went. Key in the ignition or not, they can be dragged rather easily.

Unfortunately now that I have a BMW with wheel bolts, not nuts/studs, I cannot use the X-2 locks because they don't make them as bolts

I have Rays Engineering Dura-Nut Lug Nuts on my volk wheels and it looks like they are pretty much useless against an easy out socket after reading this thread. Should I buy a set of Gorilla X2 wheel locks for $25 on amazon(lowest price anywhere)?
What about Volk Racing Formula Lug Nut Set($300)? Anyone with a hex wrench socket set could probably remove these lug nuts?

I just installed the $25 set of Gorilla X2 on my gunmetal LE-37t with gunmetal Rays Engineering Dura-Nut Lug. The color combination works with my wheels. I decided to just swap the Rays 7 sided locks with the gorilla x2 locks.
