just got back from the 115th precinct. bad news and bad news.

#1: rims arent mine, they were wrapped in bridgestone potenzas, mine were wrapped in yokohama Advans.

#2: They released the criminals who were caught trying to sell those 2011 g37s rims.

back to waiting on the dealership

I installed my nissan rim locks last night. How many different sets of rim lock keys are there? Because if there's only 3 or so, it would make sense for someone to have all the keys. I was under the foolish impression that each key was unique. Kind of like a house key. Furthermore, I don't see how the rim locks can be screwed off without a key. Should I invest in purchasing additional rim locks?

so the insurance company is only giving you 1100 for the rims and tires to be replaced?

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.
It's amazing what information you can find if you just read through the pages...

Gonna pick the car up soon. Gonna try n see if the dealership can waive the tow and detailing fee that added on 430$ +tax. Save $500 out of my $1000 deductible

what im getting at is if the insurance company is cutting you a check for the stock oem wheels for 6300 why wouldnt you get aftermarket wheels and tires?

yes i think it is, you can sue them in small claims court. Thats what I did when I caught the kid that stole my jaguar hood ornament

yes...the car must be returned with 2011 sport rims

Question, did insurance cover the cost of the loaner?

Yes they want the OEM wheels, tires, and they charge if you do not have the sensors in them.

What freaking dealership charges you a tow and prep fee for this instance???

I posted this before, but this picture just says it all...



The car is probably worth less than the rims, but people don't mind the risk of stealing the wheels.

Assuming the theives are actually caught (good luck) New York has a restitution program where the criminals can be forced to pay for the damages they have done.
