Thieves steal $200,000+ worth of 20" and 22" Wheels/Tires
They stole other wheels too, but 20s and 22s were most affected.

Sounds like an inside job. I doubt these things will end up on ebay or craigslist. They're probably on their way out of state or the country to be resold.
Thieves broke in and stole more than $200,000 worth of wheels and tires off 48 new vehicles at a dealership in Tyler, Texas, last weekend.
Tyler Police Department Public Information Officer Don Martin said the incident occurred around 1 a.m. Sunday at Peltier Chevrolet.
“They cut the locks on the gates to the rear where all the inventory stock was kept,” Martin said.
He noted that the thieves also defeated the light system, knocking out the large bright lights that are typically on.
Surveillance video shows a large box truck arriving at 1:22 a.m., but because it was so dark, police aren’t sure how many suspects were involved.
Martin said the thieves spent “probably a good four hours” stealing the wheels and tires.
