Default After getting robbed I'm back in the game

So a month ago I parked my car outside my apt and the next morning I came out and my car was sitting on a scissor jack and spare tire. I was mad enough to kill whoever had stolen or hand part in stealing my wheels. Its a shame we work hard for nice things only to have it stolen from us. But long story short insurance paid out, and I had to put some of my own money in as well bc I decided I was gonna buy two sets of wheels. One being the Rohana RC10s (which aren't even out yet and they say its a 6-8 week wait) for quite some time now and the LFA replicas as my beater wheels since I sold my original beater wheels that came with the car ( G Spyders). Anyways heres some pics of my old wheels, and the new. A vendor here Kris Becker (Gotoracingonline) helped me out alot and gave me some really good deals. Great customer service. Check him out. http://www.gotoracingonline.com/store/

Did you pay extra to get insurance on your rims?

Nice wheels, but just a heads up for you, those idiots who stole your wheels will know that you HAVE TO get new set of wheels quick, meaning they will probably drop by again to see what other new stuff they can steal. So be careful and possibly set up a camera outside your house..

They gave me enough money for factorys. I didn't claim after market wheels. I ended up putting my claim money plus my own towards both wheels

Damn sucks to hear someone jacked your wheels like that, did you have wheel locks? Make sure you get some this time if you didn't already. Doesn't stop em, but it slows them down!

I like both sets of the replacement wheels though. Especially those Rohana RC10s. Gonna look sick on your car, straight sexy!
