"You might automatically think that this was the work of a massive team, but surveillance video shows it was just two men doing all the work under the cover of darkness."
I would, hey hire these guys for Indy pit stop!

rims, tires, tpm sensors, add mount, balance, programming & install...$4000 is about right.

my 20inch factory rims for my truck over retail over$800 for one rim alone $590 dealer cost


wheel locks would have slowed them down or made them go to a dealer without locks. My dealer got hit....massive lighting went up for the entire lot after that.

And they did it in 40 minutes. That's just a little over a minute for each vehicle.
