The estimate for the replacement came out to be $6300, getting the wheels and sideskirts in this week and installed. Rotors are fine. insurance deductible is $1000

My father finally decided to junk his broken 96 range in the garage so from now on my car will either be inside the garage or right next to my bedroom window in the driveway. Going to grab 2 sets of wheel locks and sleep with my bb pistol loaded.

Wow, the craigslist listing sounds like the wheels were stolen. The seller knows nothing about the wheels.

OUTCH! $1000 of your pocket! Forget about parking in your driveway, just park it in the garage. Hopefully they don't have the guts to get it from your garage.

Are you going to forward this cragslist ads to your insurance company?

Call the seller and meet up with him. Ask questions that an Infiniti owner would know. I bet those are your rims.

Craigslist ad FTML. Someone should do some snooping.

$6300 for rims and skirts? thats actually not too bad. You can get painted skirts from orderinfinitiparts.com for $230 each.......rims and tires might cost you (if you decide to stick to OEM). funny thing is if you had the previous 19"s....you could have easily picked up rims and tires from someone thats selling them and saved a few bucks

does the insurance cover the loaner?

I saw an older infiniti I30 rocking the previous model 19's....i was extremely skeptical.

I suggest all owners put some kind of marking on the rims. Especially guys with newer 19's.....it'll be easier to catch the crooks

This problem is going on none stop ever since the 37 came out in 08. Lat summer i saw at least 15 g37's with no wheels. It's terrible, can't have anything nice in NYC unless you have a garage even then people's rims got stolen in their own garages ( toyota Camry wheels)

GRRRRRR not another one!!!! Please tell me you had wheel locks on and they broke them...

This will never stop as long as these wheels fit on every single honda, nissan, etc and people keep buy "used" clearly stolen rims from the back of some van.

Wheel locks do help (a little or a lot) so get alot of them and hope for the best. As for your BB gun, in NY we are not allowed to take human life to protect our property (unless they are physically within your dwelling) so don't get carried away.
