i'm wondering if we should invest in those $250 Rays wheels locks

20 lug all locked.

Dam. It makes me want to etch the vin numbers on the inside of the rims so it would be harder for them to sell and eaiser for you to prove its yours if ever found.

Any suggestions on 3rd party wheel locks that will fit?

How did you end up getting the car home?

Sure is a shitty feeling waking up to that.
I feel your pain...
Happened to me last summer.
Never will forget the horrid experience..

Looks like this summer its my turn.
How long did your insaurance company take to get your car drivable again?

Sorry for your loss.

What do people do after this happens? You can't just load the car on a wrecker or just leave it either.

sonic370 · 08-14-2012, 09:25 PM

man that's a crappy deal. sorry to here that.

one member did ask a good question. don't know if it was answered are not...

what would these wheels fit on. would you need some kind of special spacers or something. i mean you would have to be one stupid SOB to buy these wheels.

they would stick out like a sore thumb on any other car...
kind of like the vette wheels would.

For sure the first thing I'll do when I get my Z is to head to the nearest Viper alarm dealer. Any impact or trying to jack up my Eclipse and they get 100 DB siren blasting, outside and inside the car.

I had to keep calling them and bothering them.
High Point is the worst btw...
It took them about 2-3 days from what I can remember..
And then it was all up to me to look for the rims.
My appraiser was some @sshole that kept trying to give me less money.
I was arguing with him that I had the sports package rims and he told me my car came with 18'.
He was telling ME what option my car came with obvious was wrong since I had the spoiler and bbk's rofl...

In the end they skimped me out 1,000.00.
Saying that my rims were not new since I owned the car for 2 years.
Which I found ridiculous...
Also did not help that my local Police Department blammed me for not purchasing Wheel Locks.

Is it that hard to patrol a 1 square mile town.
Good LUCK!

what a nightmare! so they gave you like 3k? thats ridiculous especially about the wheels not being new part. that's WTF insurance is for???

TheGreatOne · 08-15-2012, 12:07 AM

Holy crap

See thats the weird thing with the Z, on one hand, I think a lot of people don't mess with them (theft wise) since they are a bit more scarce...but then on the other, they seem to still be a target here and there due to this.

When it comes to the stock wheels I guess they are only going on a Z or G (for the most part) so more chances of tracking them down

You're telling me...

Which reminds me, I need to start looking for a new insurance company after I move this weekend.

Considering I own a B.S. Z it makes me very sad to see that picture. I wish you the best with your insurance company and keep your head up. Even if you find the theives, handle it appropriately. Don't do anything of physical harm to them, you're smarter than that. I know it sucks, but there is more to life than our cars and it will always continue when you aren't behind bars over a monetary object.
