Fellow Z owners: A call for help.
Hello all for those of you in the MD-baltimore area I'm asking if anyone has some spare tires(donuts) they can loan me for the time being, I will get them back to you.
The reason for this is that yesterday morning someone stole all four wheels off my Z, leaving it on stands, heartbreaking. Now I am in a predicament of getting it towed, towing a car like the Z with no wheels will always result in some type of further damage. If anyone has anything I truly appreciate it. Thanks. |

Just another note, you may want to put some description and/or pictures if you had unique wheels in case we see them for sale. The more eyes looking for them the better. |
Once I get my wheels, I can bring you the old wheels to use, but I don't know your time frame.

duuude, that sucks.. fvck those pieces of sh1t for doing that to you man.
|
I just sold my spare )=
But for you this will be a win. Insurance usually pays out 6-7k for stock wheels replacements....so you can buy brand new high end wheels and nice new tires and have cash left over. |

I think its breaks down like this Sport Wheels- $ 3.5-4k TPMS sensors- $ 800 OEM Tires- $ 1400 Mounting, balancing, misc labor $200 That is all rough estimates so give or take a few hundred. |
And anyone who takes that check and buys OEM stuff at OEM prices needs their head examined.

I'm trying to just get it out of here asap. Using correct jack points is the last thing a thief worries about. Having said that, the one side of my Z is tilted on one side and laying directly on the fallen jack stand and spare tire they used. The funny thing is, a guy with an s2000 parked a few spots away has those BBS two piece mesh design, like $1000 a wheel type deal.
But yeah looking for new wheels any suggestions? Looking to spend around $2000? |
Not trying to speculate but if the BBS wheels were left alone I'd be wondering if it was him or his buddies.
Back to the topic. I would highly advise against putting on four spares. They aren't rated for that kind of use and stability at an speed would be scary. Even if it were for a 15 minute drive. I'd grab some cash, find the wheels you want, have tires mounted and balanced and grab a guy with a truck to take them to your car and get them on asap. Good luck man. My best. |

Also if the thief would go for BBS's over premium rays...hes an idiot. My opinion would be to get it on proper jacks and make sure it is safe and then call the insurance company and get to ordering some goodies. |
