Default I ****ing Hate Thieves!!!!!!!

WELL, IT FINALLY HAPPENED, MY GORGEOUS SET OF WHEELS JUST GOT JACKED FROM MY CAR. CAME OUT TO THE GARAGE (COMMUNITY GARRAGE WITH GARAGE DOOR IN CONDOMINIUMS) AND MY CAR WAS SITTING ON BLOCKS. tHE BASTARDS EVEN TOOK MY GOD DAMN SET OF STOCK WHEELS. mY RAYS BLACK SHORT LUGNUTS WERE SITTING ON THE GROUND IN NICE NEET LITTLE PILES. THE COPS ARE ON THE WAY TO MY PLACE RIGHT NOW. WAIT TILL I FIND OUT WHO DID IT. I WILL LITERALLY KILL THEM. THEY WERE VOLK RACING GT-S GLOSS BLACK 19X9.5 +17 FRONT, 19X10.5 +18 REAR WITH TOYO T1-R 255FRONT, 275 REAR. IT LOOKS LIKE IM GOING TO HAVE TO GO TAKE MY GUNS OUT OF MY SAFE NOW. I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE NORTHWEST WITH THESE RIMS CURRENTLY.

wow, these theives must have cased your car out for a while. the rays lugs have a locking nut that you need a key to loosen. they must own a set to be able to unloosen yours.

sorry man, sucks to see it.

there's speical sockets that you can buy that 'form' to what ever you're wanting to remove...it's not the best to use it continually b/c it can round off the edges of the lug nuts, but if it'd work well for stealing wheels.

sux to hear about the wheels...I'll keep an eye out for ya!

Yes everyone he did have locking lug nuts they dont really stop them if they have another set and can hammer it on top. I currently use the OEM ones cause they offer a lil better protection. Ice im going to call some people and see where your rims can be found.

I hate to say it but, you were the only person to have them. Now someone else is sporting them.

What the ****?! Damn Drew I just talk to you last night, wtf man. This is BS, someones TA just got stolen and now yours too?! This is full of crap. This is a serious sign that the Z has dropped low enough in price for little gangsta wannabe ricers to buy them and start stealing parts. I think it's time we all look for a really good alarm system.

Big Bummer! If they are that uncommon, there is hope of finding them. I'd bone up on all the makes/models of cars that they would fit. Keep your head up.

Also know that Drew's wheels aren't anodized anymore for the aluminum part. The anodize got stripped off, so they're just basically bare metal shine.

If I find anything I'll call you buddy.

Your insurance company should cover them. I got mine stolen right in front of my house before I installed my alarm. It happens just call the insurance company. Make sure you get the tire pressure sensors as part of your insurance claim.

Oh man I got those same rims, If I were you I would be soo heated too. I sometimes have to park my z outside and my neighborhood is nice but just a couple blocks down or so and it gets into a more shitty city. I'm always paranoid about that happening to me. Sorry to hear that I hope insurance will cover it!! G/L

well, cop took my lug nuts for fingerprints, checked the car for fingerprints too (no prints found) must have had gloves on. Also, those wheels WERE very unique to me. The annodizing on the lips are gone, it's now a highly polished aluminum lip, the inside stickers that say caution and all that are gone from 1 front and 1 rear rim, and the GTS stickers are gone as well from all 4 wheels. The lug nuts were the rays ones, so i believe you need a special socket. Now I have no rims period since they took my stock ones too that were right next to the car (i know its not the best place, but i figured that nobody would want a set of curbed stock rims with bald tires. Cop is a good friend of mine that i have known since I was 15 yrs old (am 24 now).

Geeeeez...I can't believe this!

You had wheel locks too! Are the Ray's wheel locks each unique, or is it a universal key? (like how those tuner lugs only have 2 different sizes/keys)
