I must be in the right place at the wrong time for vandalism
Well, not vandalism, but theft (referring to the other H2 owner in the DC area). I woke up this morning and found my H2 on blocks. Scum Bags. I have a spare set of tires and rims but I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if I need to do anything besides clean off the rotors before installing the replacement tires. Seems that warped rotors could be a distinct possibility. Also, could the air suspension have been damaged when these "pillars of society" jacked the truck up? Any precautions or special procedures I should take when putting the replacement tires on? Thanks for any help you can provide. Next stop is wheel locks (which the police told me will take them about 10 more minutes to take off) and a motion light on the driveway. Always too late!

I don't know... but I say leave it like that. It looks pretty cute with no wheels. At least they left the lug nuts, nothing worse then having to buy those again.

Re: I must be in the right place at the wrong time for vandalism
i am pretty sure the rotors were not damaged and the suspension should be fine also. The thing you have to look at is the splash shield behind the rotor and make sure it is not making contact with the rotor. Next time you get wheels get some wheel locks and look into a alarm system that has an automatic level sensor. When they jack up your vehicle +/- 1 degree the alarm will sound.

Re: I must be in the right place at the wrong time for vandalism
Since the wheel locks are supposedly so easy to get off, and since there is some serious money tied up in wheels these days, does anyone know of a better lock for wheels? Surely someone has come up with something.
