do wheels have any identifier number or anything? I would imagine they do but are probably near impossible to trace, same thing with tires

no idea... probably only datecode stamp or something at best somewhere.

at least if you etch it in, they will have to scratch it out and you know something's up.

Wow... sorry to hear that. Didn't think people are still doing this anymore. I remember someone stole my center cap from my momo rims long time ago.

Yea.. it is going to be impossible to trace becase either this guy will be using it for his own use to sell them on ebay.

better to use a distinct ID number so it's not so obvious to the bad guys. they are more likely to think it's factory marking and leave it alone. Had my jeep wheels and tires stolen when i was 18 (when 32" rubber was HUGE) and eventually caught the guy but could not prove it. A unique ID marked on the inner barrel of the wheel WOULD have proven their origin.

Damn dude I'm in flushing and very conscious about parking on the street. Update if you catch them.

Damn this the only reason why im glad i left NYC. If you notice? Every z on here with stolen rims live in the 5 boroughs, long island or north nj. You cant have shyt out there. And god forbid you shoot em if you caught em. you do 10 to 15. No property defense allowed. then you get sued by the crook and or his family. they win. he'stealing again while you're in jail for shooting a thief and giving him a physical defect.
Oh and don't forget all the profiling (stop &frisk) even though you're a law abiding legit citizen before you got robbed.

"Guns don't kill people. the nypd & bloomberg kill people." That 3 time, unconstitutionally elected fascist pig.

Sorry that happened OP.

PS... forget about recovering the rims. NYPD DGAF about your rims. Not unless there's a school teacher to rape or a black boy to shoot sitting on top of them. collect from the insurance, find a garage or buy multiple wheel locks.

Update: It looks like im not the only one that was robbed last night... Some dude with Blue Z370 near queens college got hes whole car towed from hes driveway. If you guys live in flushing area dont park your Z outside.DONT even park it in the driveway, park it in the garage!
I've already reported to my insurance company. Sent in photo and everything.. Wonder how long the wait is gonna be -.- atlest i still have my car...

zeexu, did you have wheels locks on your z? slynxx and i are in the flushing area and we both just got locks.
i'm wondering if we should invest in those $250 Rays wheels locks

Locking lugs don't stop real thieves from getting the wheels, and they make things hard enough for the punk thieves (wanna-be's), that they make a total mess of your wheels and leave in frustration. Both situations suck.
