Default BE CAREFUL : Got my wheels stolen !! :(

Thought never happen to me but just did !!! My other "company show" car, Black 99 GS300 was parked over my buddy's house in Rowland Heights over JUST ONE night, this morning I found the car was sittin on rotors !! Cant' believe this !!!!

Very rare wheels so please look out for me !! Old wheels and I'm sure not worth anything but just the fact they took em away like that and try to make louzy $$ off of it... man...

JUST be careful everyone !!

Ouch damn sorry to here that Jay... Damn whoever did that has *****, because its like a Lexus and not a honda. My friend got his 20" VS-XX stolen off of his G35 also under the parking structure, this really sucks. I'll keep a look out around the residential area where Im located. Maybe i can get to use my friend easton.

Does your very rare rims have special lock nuts on them, same goes for the 20" VS-XX? On these rare and expensive rims, I wonder how they got around the lock nuts...

My friend with the VS-XX's had blue Work wheel lugnuts with locks on them, when I was told about his missing wheels I went there to look at his car and around each wheel area I saw blue metal/aluminum shavings. Im assuming they used some sort of lugnut tool to extract or drill them out? His insurance covered up way more than what the wheels are worth due to the body and brake system damages.
