370z sport wheels stolen!!! Help!

shabarivas · 08-20-2009, 05:08 PM

watch Ebay carefully - do you remember how much tread you had on it? if so - it will help... also any distinct marks on the car? any rash (the ONE time curb rash is your friend)?... not too many cars can accommodate those sizes w/out a lot of headache - so might be easier than you think to track it down. Watch craigslist and check internet forums like a fiend... good luck man - ill keep an eye out for ppl trying to sell some OEM wheels here n there...

Police Report, I imagine?

Call up the pawn shops and let them know. The wheels on a Z are pretty distinct.

Those Fother Muckers, Why dont you check craigslist or your local newspaper to see if those guys are stupid enough to try and sale them. Then just meet up and do some damage. Even if they didnt steal them from your car, It would still feel pretty good to get it out.

that sucks man =(

Quick question though, $8,100 for what? You can get a used set of the 370z sport wheels with tires for 2k or less. You can get brand new volks with high quality tires for 5k or less. I can understand if maybe there was damage beyond just what was stolen, but if that was for the wheels and tires then ouch...

New set of 19" sport wheels + new set of Bridgestone Potenza summer tires + new set of TPMS sensors + new set of rocker panels + Nissan labor + paint labor + all supplies + tow fee + tax = $8100

G35guy84 · 08-20-2009, 08:36 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that here in NY shooting someone for tampering with my car would surely land me in jail.

I will be sure to look into one of those fake camera things in addition to getting an aftermarket alarm when one becomes available.

Thanks for everyone's advice. FYE, I will post pics of my car after the incident occurred as soon as I get them uploaded to my computer.

My insurance covered everything minus my $500 deductible. So, for those of you who hate paying car insurance, you might want to change your mind.

Glad to hear everything has been fixed.

that would've been a nasty bill without insurance..

that does seem high but i know for a fact the 19in rays or at least 1050.00 each
bridgestones to me aren't worth it because of road noise but there are around 300.00 each on tire rack still 5500.00 total that sucks

you're forgetting tpms , which brings it to 5900, then mounting and balancing etc.

the Gollila locks will slow them down so I suggest an after market alarm with an ajustable shock sensor that you can turn on and off when you need to use it or if the cars near the house add a video camera with low light visibilty that will turn it on if someone gets to close or a dog or security lights or sleep in the car with a 12 gauge and wait for them to come back

Togo · 08-20-2009, 07:01 PM

His info says Base, so i suppose he bought the sport wheels from someone who upgraded theirs. That might be part of the cost on the $8100. Just a thought....

Maybe

Sport Wheels & Rubber
+
Volks & Rubber
+
Locking Lugs
=
$8100???

Man, that totally sucks, there is nothing in this world worse than a thief. I wish I had some sage advice for you but thiefs typically get what they're after. I just hope for you that it doesn't happen again.

rudi · 08-20-2009, 07:28 PM

Be careful. I read some where that 7 out 10 places that get burgled, get burgled again after the insurance has replaced the goods.
