What are your thoughts?
Get em if you want em or if they'll give you peace of mind. I don't see why what others think matters unless they live in your neighborhood as well...

i had my OEM 16' AP1 wheels stolen off my car from inside my locked garage.
the thieves simply dropped my car on the floor.
i think a lot of thieves will still want to take wheels from the s2000 because they dont know about the high offset.

while my car was in the body shop yard some clowns broke into it, opened the trunk, got me key and were starting to remove the wheels with my wrench and jack...when they were caught...so, the lock proved a good thing, only my bad for keeping it in the trunk...so i have hidden it now. but it is in the car

My wheels are so jacked up from the last owner that thieves would be doing me a favor. The only thing I would find them useful for us keeping dumbass techs from rotating my tires.

Better safe than sorry. I just used the ones that I had on my previous car, an Acura TL.
