Wowwww. I wonder what wheels were on there. New wheels=lug locks. Although, I heard they can even get around those as well.

There is a clue right there as to who took the wheels. I have never heard of someone leaving a car on street bike tires .

At least that won't damage the car as much then since its rubber and not as hard as brick?

Seriously though, at first glance, I thought the black thing was a bean bag or something lol.

other Z lol, they are most likely being sold on craigslist or some forum, nismo wheels go for 1k/rim without tires brand new, assuming these are in perfect condition, the guy can easily get 2k for them with tires

my old coworkers truck was left on 4 brand new(well looked like they were) jack stands when his wheels were stolen at work

i wouldnt doubt it if the thieves did that to some sport bike tire they found at the dump
