Spec V loses limbs

that's impressive. prolly only a socket wrench is what they needed to do that. block the car, use leverage to lift back 1st, remove wheels, push on back, raise front high enough to get wheels, drop and run away with said rims.... 2 or 3 man job though... still sucks, no less...
 
DAMN, those are some small ass rotors...I can understand why they offer the Brembo package now.
 
omg, that makes me sick, that's straight up hatin


does your friend have wheel locks?

wheel locks, shmeel cocks...

you could have a different type of nut on each lug and they could stille asily make off with yur rims...Im surprised they just went for the stockers though(uhm)
 
it depends on the wheel lock, i got gorilla wheel locks and feal fairly confedent with them....
 
Better?

Yeah, that's why I'm now ordering a really expensive set of Antera 309s. I contacted the Nissan dealership and they said they were going to charge me $160 per tire and $575 per wheel to replace. My insurance said I could spend the same amount of money anywhere I want to, so I went and custom ordered the 309s. I put down $3100 at Discount Tire, and all I owe is my $500 deductible.

It has an alarm, but who the hell does anything when an alarm goes off in the middle of the night anymore? I don't even know if it did go off since they didn't break any windows or anything.

Last year about this time, my head-unit got stolen and two of my windows smashed. I actually live in a reasonable area of town too.

I was gonna say that I was really sorry that some asshats stole your rims, but it sounds like you made out okay.

Oh yeah: your dealership is full of tools.
 
so I guess you ended up making out on this...

btw, did u mean to say "Antera 309s"? From what I saw on DTD, they only come in 5lug sizes with super low offsets(dunno)
 
ah, i just saw that u said u custom ordered them...

I wonder how much my P5 wheels and tires are worth (lol2)
 
Those can't be stock rotors, unless they just look small with the now-empty fender well.

Some '04 Spec V dude got his OEM rims jacked the same way. Insurance contacted the dealer, dealer wanted something ridiculous like $500 a wheel. He took the money, bought nicer aftermarket rims and pocketed the considerable change.
