Someone stoled my wheels, I was staying over at my girlfriends place in hillcrest (Hollywood, fl) it's an elderly community. The front of the nismo wheels had the BG goodrich kdw's 245/45/19 and the backs had 285/35/19 Kumho spts.

With all the wheel thefts, I'm waiting for the day I see staggered nismos/sp wheels on a mustang. Or worse, mexiflushed on a truck.

... Dude. Not to add insult to injury.. but did they try to steal your Nismo emblem too? Are the letters "N" and "O" missing?

I. FCUKING. HATE. THIEVES. Goes to show you just can't work your @$$ off to have nice things because of all the damn haters out there.

Yea unfortunately they tried to remove the letters...

Just came back from the dealership, at first the tow truck guy arrived with a different type of replacements to the scene. He had to go back to the dealership to get the wheels mounted off the only showroom nismo.

Wonka2581 · 11-20-2013, 09:34 PM

Sorry man.

To shine a light, you will get a nice amount from insurance.

Did you have wheel locks? I know they aren't fool proof but I'm interested to see if they beat them

No

Don't have wheel locks, I bought the gorilla locks from sfx performance after getting off the phone with the officer and insurance company.
Supposedly they don't even have the key for their bolt patterns.
Pretty expensive...

There gone! No one resells them. Crack heads would rather get $8 a pound from the salvage yard then resell a $500 wheel. I bet money these wheels like everyone else are already melted into a solid block.

We can't use wheel locks. No one makes one that will fit a OEM wheel.

Those will not work. If you install them it will only be a matter of time before all 4 wheels snap off and you're driving down the road on rotors, or worse it kills you!

See the difference? You need a massive washer to make flat contact with the wheel surface. We cant use acorn style lugs if that's what you bought. The pic below is a snapped lug from this site using a wheel lock from nissan.

Wow insane, and I really like the girl. Supposedly this place has been getting hit, I'm the 3rd car in the past few months from what the tenants tell me. I can't risk going through this again, any suggestions? Nismo car cover? Good alarm system?

Enterprise gave me a impala, ugh...

Lol stay with it then. Did the company you bought from say they were for nissan? Have to received them yet? I'd wait and see what you got. They might fit and work if they have the washer but everyone finds a way! The guy I sold my OEMs to was from New York City. He's had 3-4 sets stolen right outside his bedroom window with all different kinds of locks etc etc. you don't need the key if you have a bolt/nut removal tool/extractor. Staying up with a gun is your only 100% way.
