I had mine stolen when I first got my 20" rims. I choose not to replace them.

Around here kids take them and put them on their bicycles. That's probably why you only lost 2.

I lost all 4 of mine too when I first bought the vehicle, but I don't think they were stolen because I very rarely parked the car where that would happen. I think they just came loose and flew off while driving. Having said that, none of my replacements have gone missing in almost 2 years! Wierd....

I still have mine. I actually looked down at them just the other day and shook my head thinking they should be gone by now. How much longer do you think they'll last now. My dad always says "Never spit up in the air."
I think I stopped replacing them on my '01 after 5 sets. Why do I insist on doing the same thing but expect different results?

I bet it was a kid, they're probably on his bike right now.
