well after i cursed whoever did it up and down in my mind and out loud i called the police which didnt show for 2 hours. had to buy a set of 22" rims just to get the car home and 2 of the 22's didnt fit so i had 2 srt rims in the front 2 22" rims on the rear now i have to sell the 22's because i just needed something to get the car home and no other place was open that had big enough rims to clear the rotors and i just ordered 2 srt rims today.. i called every tow company i know ever rim shop have a lot of friends in the wheel buisness and it looks like im not gonna find them so im out 1,500 for 2 srt rims with tires and whatever im going to loose when i sell these 22"s... SO my question is anyone have a good weekend ? i sure didn'T

Sorry to hear about this BBS, hope you get it resolved soon. In the meantime, check the Buy/Sell forum if you still need wheels/tires and also check with our supporting vendors.

Good luck

Wouldn't some of the cost be covered by insurance?
Did they do any damage with the jack?
You may want to take a really good look at the car to make sure there is no damage to it.
I bet they wanted to grab the other side too, but ran out of time or got spooked.

I'd be checkin' ebay for those wheels to pop up for sale.......

I have a 1000$ deductable so it didnt make sense for the insurance and surpringly absolutely NO damage was done to the car!
2 wheel locks going on all the rims this time

I have a 1,000 dollar deduct so it didnt make sense for the insurance and to my surprise NO damage was done to the car!
respectable theives or true car lovers that steal for a living i hope something of theirs gets stolen so they know how it feels!

Timing is everything. I just sold FOUR nearly new SRT8 wheels & tires for $1500 to another forum member. You might not want to pay that much for a new set of two when you can buy a complete used set and have two extras - one spare for the trunk and the other for replacing the one that gets destroyed hitting a NY City pothole.

I am so sorry that happened to you! I'm rethinking the idea of wheel locks for my own SRT8.

Sorry to hear about that, and mad that I missed out on DZ's SALE... Even though shipping would have hit me hard. I still need the replacements.
