Hope you get your wheels soon and your Z back to 100% OP. I can imagine how upsetting this whole thing is.

That is SHITTY man!

I hope the guy that took them get run over by a truck!

One question, how did you get the car home?

Did you just get another set of wheels to put on?

The tow truck guy had to get approval from the dealership manager to unmount the wheels and tires from a floor model nismo and that was after he came to the scene with 4 regular donut replacements that did not fit because of the brake caliper.

So I decided to get the '13 gunmetal version...same price and they weight the same.

Sucks to see this happen so often on the forum, insurance should pay out well enough to absorb a set of aftermarket wheels but I know you Nismo guys love your OEMs. Let me know if we can be of any help with this mess.

Those gunmetal Nismo's are the business!

Happened to me when I just got Hankook Ventus V12's.
Didn't even drive on them for a week.
Right infront of my house!
3-4 Weeks later it was posted on G35nyc.com
I recommend you to report to the local P.D.
And keep a eye out on forums and craigslist.
The people who did it probably followed you from somewhere and watched for many hours.
I feel your pain brother, I seriously advise current and new z owners to get Viper Alarm System.
Wheel Locks won't really do justice...

So crack heads make sense?

Wheels aren't made of beer cans. Metal alloys costs different prices.

they certainly will fingerprint. My brother had one firearm and his wallet stolen out of his vehicle and they fingerprinted the whole thing so Idk what kind of lazy *** police force you were dealing with...

Aaaaand that's why, a little different than a set of wheels.

True, but theft is mostly based off off value. I have lots of guns but none that retail for $3000-4000. I'd want more police work for 4k wheels vs a $500 glock.

But a stolen gun may be used to commit murder. I doubt someone's gonna strap a set of Nissan sport package rims onto their car just to run someone over.

I finally got my car back!

However I'm not happy, the Yokohama Advan Sport feel so weird, so much understeer...could it be I got a set of lemons? :confused:

The bf goodrich kdw's and kumho spts were alot less in price and I never felt any form of understeer...

I have to park outside but I have a window view of my car. Can't watch while I sleep obviously but I check on it sometimes and if I catch a fool messing with my car in any way I have a baseball bat ready for them lol
