WHEELS ARE BEING STOLEN! If you see anyone hustling Legit LMs or OEM 359s, DIAL 911
I was greeted with this sight this AM:
3 cars in a secured (transponder based system) and heavily video camera'd garage were hit in total; the two you see (mine is the white one), and a Nissan Maxima that had some NISMO 19s just put on it. I just put on my OEM Style 359Ms about 2 months ago, and my buddy Jerald's authentic BBS LMs (bought new 6 months ago) were taken as well. This is the first time that cops have seen this happen here, but apparently this kind of thing has been happening quite a bit in Greenwich, Old Greenwich, Scarsdale, Norwalk, etc, where guys are going into pretty secure places and going wheel shopping. If anyone sees a set of OEM 359Ms with 235/35/19 and 265/35/19s Michelin Pilot Supersports on them (M3 wheels with non-M fitment, not too common), or authentic BBS LMs in e9x fitment (19x8.5/9.5) with CF centercaps and Conti DW in the same fitment as above, call the cops, they might be stolen. I need a drink now.

Shocked. Plate number off the car? No way these guys were walking around with heavy ass cement blocks. They knew what they wanted obviously.

Depends. Either way you'll be getting OEM prices on the wheels back in a claim charge.

The black one had the EU McGard wheel locks, the ones that everyone drools over and pays stupid money for. His car got its window broken, door screwed up, console ripped apart, and still got it's wheels stolen. Mine didn't have that happen. Take that for what it's worth.

Agreed Tee...I followed your advice/insight in getting my 359s...think I might go even more aggressive next time, might have to talk with you about that.
I know, right? That's just weird. They left Jerald's radar and took all of our wheel lugs. I just don't get it.

Makes me sick to my stomach to see that... Hope you can get this all resolved.
P.S. I run 9" +26 with 235/35 front and 10" +20 265/30 rear (saw your post about wanting to go more aggressive). |

Wow...in a secured garage too..I hope they get caught. Keep us posted man and I hope everything works out fine. I see people are mentioning wheel locks, so the wheel locks that came with our cars are pretty much useless then ?

Thanks Matt for getting this out there. I think you've covered the details of the incident as occurred. Truthfully, too f*cking pissed to elaborate further.
Attached is the pic of my car intact. As requested, if you guys see/hear anything, please let us know. Much appreciated. |
