Default My Volks were Stolen

I just had a set of Volk CE28N Time Attacks stolen in Bellevue Washington. They are mounted on Bridegstone Potenza 255x35x19 fronts and 305x30x19 in the back. The wheels are 19x9.5 fronts and 19x10.5 rears. If anyone has seen these wheels please PM these wheels are STOLEN.

305 rears...yummy. Sorry to hear they were stolen. Wheel thieves suck and seem to be in abundance on the Pacific coast

Sorry to hear about your loss. If everything works out with your insurance company, I have a set for immediate shipment.

I left the car in front of a detail shop to get her waxed on sunday night. The shop told me just to drop it off so i did and gave them the keys. I get a phone call in the morning at my desk at work. Car is on two cinder blocks the front is on the ground (actually it wasnt bad at all it was on the suspension arms) the rear was in the air. And the wheels were gone, theres a nice gouge in the passenger side fender and a pissed off me.
Andy if you have a set of CE28N Time attacks 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 i'll be ordering those from you hopefully this week.
So guys if you have any info on these wheels please let me know.
Thanks guys.

Man, that really sucks. Did you have wheel locks on them? I have a set of Time Attack CE's in stock. Just let me know whenever you're ready.

Sucks to hear that man... I'd definately get insurance adjuster to look over the whole powertrain cause I'm sure they didn't just gently lower your car onto the ground, even it was resting on the control arms. I was gonna recommened you get in touch w/ Andy for replacements, but he's already chimed in.

that's horrible news man. shouldn't the shop you left the car in front of take liability? I mean they have the keys and should have been in charge of keeping the car in a garage or something. I would blame the shop, unless there is reason you couldn't.

You shouldn't have made this thread. They might show up forsale on here or something. Should keep quiet about it for awhile to see if they come up on craigslist, ebay, z forums, etc. People who steal try to sell usually over the internet and not keep it for themselves.

Go after the detail shop.
I can almost guarantee they had something
to do with the theft.

This happens a lot in Hawaii. You bring your car in for a mod, tires, tune, etc. They do the job and mark your car. The shop then tells one of their buddies to rip your car off later on that week.

You should have never left your car over nite for only a detail. Thats all on you.
