maybe someone is going to use your fronts for their rears on their POS car...i don't see why someone would risk going to jail over somethign so stupid. People are pathetic. Good luck.

If your wheels get stolen like that, does the insurance company pay you the value of all 4, or are you stuck paying whatever your comprehensive deductible and they decide where you get replacements from or something?

Maybe something spooked them and they ran off before starting the rear ones. I don't see how nobody could have heard them. Seems like a neighborhood where the buildings are close together. Maybe it was someone in the neighborhood, an inside job.

ironically, getting your OEM wheel stolen is better. The invoice price on them is high and so are the tires and tpms. my insurance wouldn't cover my wheels cause they were aftermarket and i did not report it to them when i got the car. i did get money back for damages on the underside of u car and other body damages that occured.

So if OEM wheels get stolen, the insurance company will write you a check for the market value of the OEM wheels?

true. I'd look at this as a fine moment for upgrading. With some wheel locks too. or maybe craigslist for some oem wheels.

I was just on craigslist yesterday and someone is selling stock wheels with tires brand new from the dealer for 300. I guess the guy decided to upgrade before he bought the car, so they gave him the stocks. I think he's in SD tho so might ask him if he'd ship
