Wheels stolen

Nailzs · 08-14-2012, 09:11 PM

For sure the first thing I'll do when I get my Z is to head to the nearest Viper alarm dealer. Any impact or trying to jack up my Eclipse and they get 100 DB siren blasting, outside and inside the car.

what would these wheels fit on. would you need some kind of special spacers or something. i mean you would have to be one stupid SOB to buy these wheels.

they would stick out like a sore thumb on any other car...
kind of like the vette wheels would.

I just got my car wheels back the other day. Walking home it was the first time i saw any body have the 19in rays on any thing other then the Z. This clown had 19in rays on a nissan altima. I had to inspect them to make sure they were not mine that got stolen because i know exactly were i had scuffed them just for piece of mind..lol. The car looked good but i know that car must drive like ****!

They are very popular on 300ZXs with spacers, but they will fit any Z or G and some other Nissans. Plus depending on the pattern, which right now I'm not sure if they are 5x114.5 pattern...

Sorry to hear your wheels got stolen hope you get them back,by the way take that pinstripe off your car.

TheGreatOne · 08-14-2012, 11:07 PM

Holy crap

See thats the weird thing with the Z, on one hand, I think a lot of people don't mess with them (theft wise) since they are a bit more scarce...but then on the other, they seem to still be a target here and there due to this.

When it comes to the stock wheels I guess they are only going on a Z or G (for the most part) so more chances of tracking them down

Considering I own a B.S. Z it makes me very sad to see that picture. I wish you the best with your insurance company and keep your head up. Even if you find the theives, handle it appropriately. Don't do anything of physical harm to them, you're smarter than that. I know it sucks, but there is more to life than our cars and it will always continue when you aren't behind bars over a monetary object.

you don't want to stir that pot...

^hey man you should come up and shoot the Raleigh Cars and Coffee meet. there have been some awesome rides up there.

Baconboy · 08-15-2012, 08:37 AM

I feel like a fool for buying the locks.

I was away from home last month and needed to remove the wheel on my Chevelle. I didn't have the key so I hammered a 19mm 12-pt deep socket over the wheel lock and I took it off with no issue. There are videos on youtube about this, it's sad how easy it is.

The socket expands a little and grabs the outside of the lock.

HKYStormFront · 08-15-2012, 08:44 AM

yea you pretty much FUBAR the socket but you can get the locks off... small price to pay for high $$$ wheels

speedfreek · 08-15-2012, 08:53 AM

Locks only keep the honest man honest. If someone wants them bad enough they are going to get them and there is nothing you can do about it sad to say. I am sure most do but if you have not and have expensive aftermarket wheels make sure they are on your insurance...cuz they will be a hot item especially in certain locales.
