Default stolen wheels:$300 reward

Last night someone broke into my car and stole a set of 19x9 19x10 manaray ms-6. They had dunlop 245/19/35 tires on the front (bad camber wear) and yokohamas (about 75%) 265/19/30 on the back. The offset was for a supra, but they had like 5mm spacers on the back so they would fit sc and gs. They were all recently polished, and i don't believe you could get them that way from the dealer, so they shouldn't be too hard to spot. I'm offering a $300 REWARD to the person who helps me catch these bastards. IF ANYONE SEES THEM PLEASE GET THE LICENSE PLATE # AND LET ME KNOW ASAP (253) 2241033. I had these wheels for 3 DAYS!!! Damn im so pissed!! This happened in L.A. Korea town so i'm betting they're not too far away. Thanks.
Ben

I'll keep an eye out Ben, I'm in that area frequently. And you're right, those rims will stick out like a sore thumb. Damn thieves!

It happened in my apartment's gated parking garage. I'm on 4th and St. Andrews. Most thieves are lazy so i'm pretty sure they are from around here. Please keep your eyes open Mr Tan. I'm guessing these wheels will be on someones car by the end of the week. Thanks a bunch guys!

Hey Ben,

did you buy these from another member on this forum? Those pics look familiar.......

Whoever did this, will pay dearly.......these wheels are pretty rare and chances are, you might run across them if they stay in Cali.....I'll keep my eyes peeled dude......

Now I'm worried about my wheels too....

BAHAHAHA...you alki.

Like I said in your other thread, I'm in Ktown, so I'll be on the lookout. I hope I'm the one who catches the person(s)...and it's not for the reward either..hehe.

Are these the ones from quadoptics? If so, these are rare and easy to spot.

I drive around that whole downtown area quite often and just L.A. in general, so I'll keep an eye out. Hope you find those bastards.
