look up eBay and craiglist now... you'll probably find them there....

Sorry to hear about it happen to you OP, hope you'll get replacement ASAP.

Dam. It makes me want to etch the vin numbers on the inside of the rims so it would be harder for them to sell and eaiser for you to prove its yours if ever found.

Any suggestions on 3rd party wheel locks that will fit?

How did you end up getting the car home?

Sure is a shitty feeling waking up to that.
I feel your pain...
Happened to me last summer.
Never will forget the horrid experience..

I had to keep calling them and bothering them.
High Point is the worst btw...
It took them about 2-3 days from what I can remember..
And then it was all up to me to look for the rims.
My appraiser was some @sshole that kept trying to give me less money.
I was arguing with him that I had the sports package rims and he told me my car came with 18'.
He was telling ME what option my car came with obvious was wrong since I had the spoiler and bbk's rofl...

In the end they skimped me out 1,000.00.
Saying that my rims were not new since I owned the car for 2 years.
Which I found ridiculous...
Also did not help that my local Police Department blammed me for not purchasing Wheel Locks.

Is it that hard to patrol a 1 square mile town.
Good LUCK!

You're telling me...

Which reminds me, I need to start looking for a new insurance company after I move this weekend.

Sorry for your loss.

What do people do after this happens? You can't just load the car on a wrecker or just leave it either.

sonic370 · 08-14-2012, 08:25 PM

man that's a crappy deal. sorry to here that.

one member did ask a good question. don't know if it was answered are not...

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.
