God I can't believe that ******* people should die.

I know exactly how you feel man. This happened to my 350Z the first month I owned it. Except they stole the front wheels. The early gen 350's were notorious for tire feathering on the fronts. Unfortunately, it is easier to steal them than to buy them. Time to invest in some wheel locks.

Wheel locks do nothing but slow them down, and not much at that.

yep, like i said in the other thread, if my dealer didnt steal my stock lugs to install their nissan locks, i would use the regular lugs.

Yeah that sucks big time! The 19s are worth a lot of money and
they look great. Which makes for a big target. put locking
lug nuts on mine but know it is a waste of money.but had to try
something

Ashame people are doing this........makes ya just ...well you know. The same thing is happening with the 09/10 Maxima Sport rims, they are being ripped off as well. They have had a few threads recently as well on the org regarding the same thing.....

rmorrow · 06-17-2010, 07:03 PM

This makes me sick just looking at the pictures. My Z has about the same mileage, and I just put my plates on. I would really hurt the SOB's if I ever caught them in the act. Wanna hear something even sicker...my buddy just bought a new Camaro SS. Came out of a mall in H Town and saw that someone had keyed his new ride. They hit both sides of the car, from front to rear. I guess I just do not have a sick enough mind to figure out why someone would do this...I hope you catch them.

WTF. I'm sorry to hear that man. Now I don't feel that bad about not having had them on when mine were stolen. The best thing is really the alarm with tilt sensor. Having no wheel locks or alarm is really asking for it as far as thieves are concerned. Basically all it takes is you leaving your car one place and they spot it, they take them.

I recommend checking craigslist for new ads for 370z wheels and trying to get the person with the police. As far as thefuture, I'd try and get a check from insurance for replacement cost and get yourself some nice aftermarket wheels. And get a viper with tilt sensor immediately. Your car is not safe without it.

Do you guys think that nice OEM wheels are stolen more than aftermarket wheels bc they are easier to sell and hard to prove the ownership? Or you think that aftermarket wheels are stolen more?

The Houston Cops have said that the stock items are stolen more than the aftermarket items. They also communicated that the hottest theft target in Houston right now is the 2009-10 Ford F-250 Truck. Go figure...
