can't take a jack out if you don't set vehicle on something like rocks or blocks.

sorry to hear about your wheels to all that have been hit by lowlife thugs.

Don't sweat it man! They got mine a year ago. Those damn things are like$1100.00 each. I got some sweet new 22's and put about $2Gs in my pocket when it was all said and done. I was like, "come steal my **** anytime". LOL!

J,K man, that does suck, I came out one night to someone trying to steal the Bullet wheels off my Ranger, too bad they couldn't get the jack under the truck since it was bagged and sitting on the frame rails..

No, a lot of dealers have "pro" shops that sell after market wheel, some even add them to cars on the lot.

Not sketchy at at all. Several dealerships offer custom wheels when purchasing new vehicles, since they can add it to the finance/purchase price and people just have a usual car payment. Then they offer some credit towards those custom wheels if they can keep the stock wheels/tires. They probably buy the stockers for $1K and sell them for $1500. Easy money.

I picked up my Denali Wheels from Hot Ride Wheels, (832) 228-4000). They are off of Daffodil, by Westpark and Fondren. I think mine were $1600 for new chrome wheels and new tires. They have quite a few 22" Escalade wheels and tires. http://stores.ebay.com/HOTRIDEWHEELS...34Q2ec0Q2em322

I saw this once in the arboretum. Walked outside jump in the lightning (3 years ago), and drive out to a guy looking at his acura on bricks. Shitty part is, they used the lawn bricks. Officer told him that they max out the suspension by lifing it, cram the bricks under the frame then pop the tires to slide the rims off. The one thing about that, is they can leave fingerprints everywhere, but you can't use outside prints as evidence.
