Damn, that's messed up man!!!!!
I'm all the way in LA but i'll keep an eye out for someone selling just 2 rims.
You think it was someone you know?
Man that's messed up I remember when You said you will wait for the canyon run till you get the new rims and tires on.
I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks guys.
The tires are Nexen N3000, 235/35/19.
Frank, I had a crack in the window, cuz you know how hot it gets. No more than a centimeter, because I get paranoid thinking bout people who would throw soda or spit into my car. I also measured it as the other 3 windows were still all the same height, but the window they pushed down on was close to 4 inches from being closed. They forced down the window, and then popped open my door. The police were able to get a few good fingerprints on the inside of my window; hopefully we can find out who it is. We also found hand prints on my roof and outside the window, but the police said that it wouldn't be good evidence.
Cleve, I was inside the UCR Apartments. I had to park on the street so I couldn't see/hear my car/alarm.
The only good thing is that I got two of the wheels mounted. It looks stupid, but my old rears are pretty much slicks. Super staggered FTW, lol. I have 18's in the front and 19's in the rear now. I've been searching Craigslist/eBay religiously, hoping for something. Them ****tards are going to get the business if I ever get em'.

That's what I'm assuming also. But we don't know for sure, as Everton Place is a pretty bad street; there's been many acts of vandalism and burglary. We also found a Beetle that was broken into also last night. It could've been anyone, but most likely someone that actually know the rarity of Volks; so it must've been someone Asian, lol.

Rims look nice (back)
. Hope you catch the rim thieves and get your rims back.
You said you were checking on forums have you checked other forums like Audizine? I think the thieves don't even know the brand. I honestly think they saw a little crack and said 'lets brake in and see what we can get" they probably don't even know the measurements. I doubt they would be on forums just some small time punk hoodlums.
GL finding the rims.

jk,
That's what I was thinking. I'm just hoping, JUST HOPING, they are stupid enough to post it up on craigslist or eBay or someother public forum. That's the best chance I will get, because even the cops told me that my stolen rims are nothing but a nuisance compared to their other priorities. ****!
Frank,
You ***! LOL
Guess all I can do now is just try and save up enough money, and then order 2 more wheels. But this time it will at least be 19x9.5-10.

just check audizine. i'm sure you can find them there (not the stolen one) for a decent price.
the years I've lived in Rside I have never once left any window open...even the slightest crack. I only leave my sunroof open when it's parked when I'm in classes.

Since volks aren't really popular with the european car crowd.
It probably is someone you knew or knew about the rims. I doubt thieves would randomly be walking down the street one day and sudden steal the first set of volks they see.

nah, anyone into asian cars would know about volks. More then likely, they probably saw the 5 lug and thought they could put them on there nissan/toyota or honda not knowing there 5x112.

Man, I almost never had a problem. I always kept my windows barely cracked. I'm sure it was someone that knew I had the rims, but definitely not someone I know. Haters man. That's why I'm letting all my friends know to keep a watch on the Honda/Acura forums, and Craigslist and eGay.
I checked Audizine for the wheels. That's how I got them for sale, haha.
I know all bout stolen cars. Used to do it myself.. LOL.
Man, I just don't know what to do. I don't see anything else but to report this to insurance and hopefully get something out of it. Albert said he would try to look around for some Volks, and if worst comes to worst, he said it will probably be around $700 for a 19x9.5. I want 19x10.

I think insurance should cover if you have all the receipts and stuff. Nice wheel and the car will look really good with all 4 wheels on. Hope you can get back your wheels or find 2 new ones GL

I think soon someone is going to steal 10 kilos of gold that I have in my car and maybe a 5 karat diamond ring. If you know what I mean

Hey guys,
Honestly I don't know if my insurance would cover it.. but hell, I will check it out and at least try to reimburse myself. I was pretty stupid spending ALL of my money to get these wheels.. and now I'm in a pretty bad spot with no money whatsoever.. ****!
I have the receipts for everything including tires, so hopefully I can get some money out of it. Does anyone know if I would have to pay a deductible?
Keven, they weren't on my car, LOL.
