Did they detail it anyways?

i feel your pain, walked out to my car this morning, and the same thing had happened to me. 2 sets from 2 350z's in 2 days, and both members on these forums...what are the odds?

it could be some anonymous member on this forum who saw pics of our Lincoln Square meet two weeks ago and the nice wheels we had (well, most of u guys had really nice wheels, not me)

Mod, can non-registered users see pics in NW forum?

but how would they know where they lived unless someone followed u home...but a detail shop they must have saw your car or knew it was going in to be left overnight...really it sounds like an inside job like some worker at a nearby store or at the detail shop knew about your car

Definitely a strange coincidence. The job at the detail shop was either an inside job, or someone happened to see it in the mid of the night and came back for them.

I'll keep my eyes peeled down south. I've never seen Time Attacks around here so it'll stick out for sure.

I now have to fight my insurance company for the wheels. They want to only give me a grand for them. Looks like this will be a painful process and i will have to change insurance cos because of this. BTW i go through SafeCo insurance, if you guys are shopping around for insurance i would suggest not going with them. THanks

They should at least give you full retail on the cost of the stock wheels/tires. Make them get the quote directly from the dealer.

that was full retail for the stock wheels. They give you an extra grand on top of that for your aftermarket wheels

Aren't the stock wheels more expensive than aftermarket wheels? I remember somebody saying the 06 Rays were around $1000 a wheel from the dealer.
