Help? Stolen Factory Wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Does anyone here know any shops in the East Bay that loan out wheels? Mine where stolen, the car is literally on bricks. Going through a lot of drama with the insurance company.

Not even stock wheels are safe!? Well, at least they didn't break in or take the whole car.

Why the heck would anyone steal stock wheels!? These things are worthless

BigFatFlip · 11-07-2013, 07:43 PM

Damn OP, that sucks. Maybe someone out here would be kind enough to loan/sell you their stocks that are lying around. This very same thing happened to a buddy of mine, car ended up on 4 milk crates (one broke and messed up a rotor). He ended up buying steelies on craigslist just to get the car on a flat bed.

I've actually been pretty worried about this same thing for a while now ever since I painted my wheels gold. Crooks might think they were more valuable than they actually are.

doggieboy09 · 11-07-2013, 09:08 PM

Damn, I'm so sorry to hear this. If I see these wheels on sale somewhere, I will be very suspicious. I hope that the insurance company pulls though for you.

I'll give you my spare! 4 of those and at least you'd have rollers! Plus yours you only need 2 more.
