Default Somebody Stole My Rims!

i had my extra set of ten spoke ss rims sitting in my garage i went to put them on for storage and they are no where to be seen! i only have 1 of them since i took that one out of my garage to have a new tire put on it!

so......if you hear of anybody with 3 ten spokes let me know. and they might be missing some teeth shortly there after!

Better yet, check around some of the local speed/wheel equipment shops and see if there's been anyone looking to buy only ONE 10 spoke wheel.

And yeah, that's dirty rotten having your wheels stolen like that.

Someone stole 3 stock wheels from me too when I had a full size chevy. The 4th was a spare and they left that! Must have taken mine for the scrap aluminum.

Yep, be sure to check out Craig's List because my friend was telling me today about these 20 inch rims with tires that he just bought for 250. That was ridiculusly cheap. Plus two of the rims were wrapped in Nitto's. The tires alone probably cost more than 250. Check and check! Maybe the guy will try to sell for a quick buck, 'specially this time of the year.

How did they get into your garage? Was the door broken into, or did you leave it unlocked?

If someone broke in, I'd file a police report ASAP, whether the door showed signs of forced entry or not.

there is no signs of a break in. i dont go in the garage much since i have no senority to use it haha my other car is a a garage down the street that i have to rent and the camaro is outside during the summer. so i honestly dont even know how long they have been gone. im guessing somebody left my the alley door open on the garage. the cart the wheels were on is gone too!

i did check craiglist and ebay didnt seee anything
