Did they put it up on blocks like that? I'm surprised. Usually they just dump it in the dirt.

well there is a couple of clues we got, the blocks when where the car is an appartment buildings no houses, so someone must have brought them from their house and we think we may know who. so the hunt is on.

FL boys, you got my number, just hit me up if anything.
andrew yes i got a spare set of wheels for now, i have to talk to VOSSEN to get this lady back on her feet looking sharp representing MB and VOSSEN

That sucks to see Hopefully insurance will cover you and the police find them. We've seen many searches for stolen wheels come up w/ the help of forums and craigslist. Id hit up craigslist if I were you

sorry to hear about your loss. Car def was targeted. Can't imagine how you feel. Yeah things would have been ugly for you/them if you had you G23. Find the guy/car, give him a cocktail (molotov).

Cant even buy nice things for your car/place without someone jacking it.

holy smokes! this sux bad and I'm really sorry it happened.....
I really hope there is some super karma coming to those
insanely classless people.....

good luck to you man

edit: after thinking more about this, simple justice does not seem like enough, I'd want the
ball hockers to suffer and worry like I would have been after that......

karma man! you gotta believe!

Those wheels are headed off shore to one of the islands most likely. Maybe South America. Too unique to reappear in Miami. Someone in the Bahamas will be rockin your Vossens real soon. Does anyone really think, other than slowing the criminals down, that wheel locks would have been a deterrent against the wheels being stolen?

Listen,
People are really stupid down here. Its not out of the ordinary to find these on Craigslist the next day. In fact I bet we find some tool with a jetta rollin on these w/adapters.

In any event, it has made me think twice about leaving my car anywhere. My E55 is always garaged as well as my RX7. Both cars have really expensive wheels. I was even thinking of getting Vossens for my SC300, but Gus' incident has made me reconsider getting aftermarket rims period.

I hope you guys find whoever stole these and dispense some proper justice on them and theirs.


As for rims being stolen, it happens all the time. You can't go through life trying to avoid every possible risk. Get the ones you want and have insurance. Just sayin'

Gus - sorry to hear about that brother. . .I commend you for your attitude and trying to stay above those that are so clearly beneath you. . .that being said. . .if you ever change your mind, and decide that a temporary trip to the "dark side" is warranted. . .BREAK THEIR MUTHERF*&KIN FINGERS so everytime they even THINK about using a tool . . .

Wow...I can only imagine how you felt when you saw your car the way it was left. I am saddened and mad just by looking at the pictures. Some nerve of theirs to violate you with impudence the way they did. Insurance should cover. Thiefs are not as smart as they believe they are. Scope out Craigslist, ebay and even some of the wheel shops in your area. It would be nice to get these criminals off the street. Good luck!!

Well first off I want to thanks everyone for the support, I really appreciate all the comments.

Second I guess just like everyone know the wheels are so HOT that they had to have them.
And now to top I off putting the cherry on top of it, I left to go get wheels and when I come back the car was towed because they could not have a car that looked like that in the premises, I was like what!!!!! You could not have given a 6 hour period at least!!! Freaking idiots!!! I can't believe it still, this day has been a headache. I finally got the car back and driving it home, tomorrow I'm meeting up with the insurance guy. I'm gonna have my rotors and undercarriage checked at the dealer

They put it in some dollies, they did a pretty good job at least, I'm just mad at the complex manager that has no sense of decency or care for others property, he is a tool.
The towing guys at least we're cool and did everything they could to not damage anything on the car

Gus, post up a pic of your wheels, so that your south Florida brethren can keep an eye pealed.
