Man, that is my worst fear to walk out and have something like that happen.

damn bro!!! The economy is really damn bad, people stealing rims to make ends meet? that sucks!!

if you have incidental coverage with your insurance, you should be able to recover most of the cost. My deductible is 250 for this kind of claims. Also, if you have home owners insurance, it should cover it, too. I had someone break in to my storage unit, 5 miles from home -- they stole some JDM long champ rims I brought from japan and some other shiat and they paid me 2g's for everything. I was happy, but sad I lost my long champs!!

Good luck mang!

i have McGard locks on mine though im sure if they want them bad enough as you say..

Do you guys have insurance companies that specialise in modified cars over there? here in Australia we do, i have my car insured for $20,000AUD and my wheels insured seperately for $5000AUD. there is of course excesses and what not to pay, but when all is said and done i will probably have around $3500 for new wheels if anything ever happens to them.

I hate to accuse anybody of doing something......shall I say shady. But how is it your car is in the identical position in both pictures. It just seems kind of odd to me. Like I said I hate to bring this up but I was just curious. I know how it feels to have your car vandalized. Mine is going into the body shop tomorrow.

It seems that way. But i park there once every often. my sisters car is right behind me. we live in a corner house. right across the street is a resavoir. the side where the resavoir is are a lot of break ins. The side i park at would be the safest (so we thought).

Did you find out if your insurance covers that?

I have statefarm and they said they do cover my wheels without increasing my premium. They just told me to take pics and keep the receipt.
