Wheels Stolen

ZziK · 06-28-2013, 08:23 PM

I just had my wheels stolen off of my Z - for those that have had this happen to them, what is the best way for a towing company to pick up the car since its on blocks?

Jasonle · 06-28-2013, 08:27 PM

Damn... another one this week... sucks man

bacalhau1669 · 06-28-2013, 08:38 PM

Was it your OEM wheels or aftermarket? Thats crazy. I go to Orlando every month or so, I gotta watch my car alittle closer I guess.

That sucks... you're going to have to find some temporary wheels and tires. That's all there is to it. You can't move the car without wheels.

ZziK · 06-28-2013, 08:47 PM

Yeah.. this sucks, especially when you leave your place to head to work and find your car on blocks.. the wheels were the sport rays.

I'm so sorry man... that completely sucks. Makes me hate people.

i never would have thought this would happen to me but it did - be vigilant with your cars if they're not garage kept.

w0rM · 06-28-2013, 09:00 PM

Just curious... did you have wheel locks?

synolimit · 06-28-2013, 09:10 PM

Youre gonna make money though!

Insurance pays like 4k. Buy some used wheels here for like $1000 and hell for another $1000 ill give you my brand new OEM tires! 500 miles, mint. Pocket $2000 for mods

I swear every time I see a car with Z Rays rims on it, I KNOW they're stolen and sold for pennies on the dollar. But, honestly I can't accuse without knowing the entire story.

Sorry to hear about your loss, I guess you'll have to buy another set of Rays or get something even better.

Tell us more about the situation, where were you parked, what proximity to your home/apt, etc. How long you'd been parking there, etc?

Damn harsh yo,well get a temporary set of wheels then go and claim insurance

ZziK · 06-29-2013, 06:42 AM

My insurance wants me to have it towed to a local collision repair center because the dipshits put the blocks on the side skirts and the front end fell to the ground cracking the front bumber and damaging the side skirts. Insurance wants the place to order the wheels so i wont be getting a check from them.
