You'll have to borrow some wheels... And body kit FTW!!!

And sorry about the àssholes stealing you wheels and leaving your car like that

Lol, you're in FL, you should!

Please know that wheel locks only slow down theives, if at all. But if they still want your wheels, they'll get them

Glad you're having a semi positive outlook, or that you can have a laugh at least!

I would look into whether you can get a check from the insurance. They shouldn't be able to force you to take it to a specific place

You have the choice my friend not the insurance company....they will not get you new rims, but some refurbished ones I bet...Take the check and acquire everything yourself.

Dang that sucks man, gives me a heads up to get some wheel locks.

Any recommendations out there? Would the Nissan OEM work the best?

ZziK · 06-29-2013, 12:28 PM

I will contact them to see if i can get a check instead.. btw, thanks for the support during this shitty time. I am in the process of finding a place to come pick up the car, but the concern is finding temporary wheels... wanna know the worse part? i am moving out of my apartment tomorrow so to have this to deal with as well, doesnt help!

Never heard of that ever! Pretty sure they can't do that. It's your choice who does the repair and maybe you'll change your mind at the last minute and take it else where. I've always been given a check from State Farm, progressive, granger etc.

discount tire has steelies im sure you can rent/buy explain the situation to them? or what ever body shop you contact may have something as well.

Steelies in a 19" to clear sport calipers? I don't think so.

FL 4Motion · 06-29-2013, 06:51 PM

how about trying to source 4 of the temp spare tires for the Z so you can just get the car to the repair shop and then force the ins co. to cut you a check like they should be doing?

MyKindaGuise · 06-29-2013, 10:22 PM

I would rage for days if this happened to me. However you will make money. Insurance check will cover some nice new weds or work wheels or used volks as well as tires and youll have money left over.
