so yes i am under the suspicion they are mine. when i asked how many miles on them he said uhhhh like..... a thousand.... i was like 'is there any damage; hes liek 'listen man these are like fresh, they still got the little things on the tire' (the nubs on the tread on brand new tires) when i asked him if he had a Z he was really awkward about it and wouldnt give me any information. plus, the ad was up last night at seven. my wheels were less than 24 hours prior. and he was in a huge rush to sell them. a lot more of a rush than someone who just took them off their own car. also if you read above, the cell phone number he gave me is associated with a whole bunch of other random wheel for sale threads on the internet
just reading this makes me fvcking furious. i feel for you, man. this same thing happened to me in san diego back in 2001, so i know how helpless you feel.

it sucks that the cops won't help, but not surprised. as was stated by someone else, it's much easier (and more lucrative) to just hand out speeding tickets instead of going after actual criminals.

keep up the good fight. it looks like you have identified the guy, and who knows where that may lead.
