cos those thief just want to show how good and how fast they are to stole the rims from u!

at least they were nice enough to put it on blocks for you. I'm sure it was hard to see them at night unless they were smiling.

The insurance company just paid the dealer - $5350 to bring this back to OEM spec.

Adjuster gave me no depreciation on the tires because I only have 7500 miles on it, so I got 4 new tires. I also had 2 small scuffs on the old rims, so it's almost a blessing in disguise.

wow with 5350 you could of gotten a NICE set of aftermarket rims... like sebiasrt8 mentioned, they wouldn't just cut you the check and only gave it to the dealer?

I got exactly what I wanted. I really love the stock 19" rims, and besides aftermarket ones would just attract negative attention from the thieves. They made the check out to me.

It's great to have brand new rims again - they are so bright without any brake dust one them - reminds me of how much I love them once again.

This is why you get a motion sensor thing. I had mine beep back to me when I was in TGI Fridays the other night when some youngin's were leaning on my car. Buy one pay to have it installed and you will be so satisfied. I had mine installed last month at the alarm place here on Nothern BLVRD. Get one installed and next time someone ****s with you ****tt you will be alerted with a loud assz beep from the remote you carry for it. Then go outside and murder them like hell. Simple as that

Now the best thing would have been to just buy some used wheels from someone (someone that barely had them on for a few miles)and save yourself four grand?

WTF....that sux man. Sorry to see this. You know what, on the bright side, they only took your rims. They could've taken your brakes too or heck the whole car

WTH they still brakes too? I never heard of that. BTW someone stole the center caps off my friends FX with our Fugi logos on it. I didn't even know they would take those things.

Dang dude, if you love the OEM 19's so much you could have picked up a set off here for about $2K tops and then kept the difference or bought even another set of wheels.

I can't believe all the G37 19" rims being stolen on the board - makes you wonder how many people not on the forums are having this happen as well that we don't know about.
