WOW,..for that price you could get VOLKS!!!

Konig I believe only makes a wheel thast 8 wide maybe 8.5??--I wouldn't even waste time w/ that--File on Insurance if you can and they will give you More then enough to Get some VOLKS and Tires!!!! Consider the Stock prices for tires and rims!!!$$$$$!!

as far as wheels locks,..get McGard's,..they are the best...and spline drive too,...Hard as hell to get off!!!Plus they are thin and come w/ a code for yours only to get another key if you lose it.~!!

had Mcgards on my old TE-37's!!! Life saver plus very durable Blk coating-unlike the stock Rays cheap lugs that came w/ my GT-C's!
Seperate key for lugs and lock lugs(2 keys)


sux about your ride,...but nows a chance to get a $3000+ wheel & trie package on them!or $2000 Track model package(used on EBAY)

hey,..pssssst----VOLKS baby!(if ya can) Konigs are cheap and will bend=not very durable!

These are solid... Eurolocks. I have heard that thieves usually try to steal the whole dang car because they are difficult to take off... stealing a Z should be a pretty tough under taking...

Eurolocks



Maybe we can keep them some what at bay...

Uhh, you know you never answered Ares question about why your not just having your insurance replace them I dont know how it is where your at, but in CA they cannot raise your rates for claims that were no fault of your own such as thefts, vandalisms, ect.

Default Wheels

I have an enthusiast with the stock wheels, I am ordering a new set of Axis wheels this week. I don't know where you are at, but I thought about selling them for $500 with tires. The tires only have 800 miles on them.

The insurance co. should pay for OEM replacements.

Actually, your insurance covers anything stolen from your car, not just stock replacement. As long as you can document it.

I think there is a limit unless you declare the mods before hand, and they can raise you for that. but I think your allowed 1000$ in mods typicly, which should cover most anything in this case.

itd suck to pay full price for a set of not so spectacular rims.

Wow...

Someone stole the wheels off the car I ordered at the dealer, so it is sitting on the dealer lot with its rotors on concrete blocks. They do not know when they will be able to deliver it. ;(

Another Daytona Blue Z crusing the Motor City Good luck and make sure your rotors didn't get F***ed up. Did you ask them if you could just get aftermarket wheels? Not like it matters now. I would have asked started on the right foot!!

Nope, didn't ask about aftermarket wheels.

But the bill for the wheels, tires, tire pressure monitoring sensors, brake rotors, and labor: $8,000...

Wow.

You won't be saying that when you sell your car
