If anyone tries to sell you m35 19 sport oem wheels please pm me. Im from springfield massachusetts so there probably be around here or CT. There not your standard silver sport wheels these were dark gunmetal as pictured on my car.

[White-Rush]

damn homie... these MF's were brave. taking your stuff right there in your driveway. I've had it happen to me twice, but that was in an apt complex. I hope who ever did this slips up, because they need to handled. I will be sure to keep my eyes open.

GL with everything man.

[Wangtang408]

Sorry about your lost.. they could have taken the side skirts and rear lip as well.
The 06-07 sports rims are big ticket item, that's why I went out and got wheel locks from the dealers when I got my sports rims to avoid getting jacked by them shady cats out there.

[Cabo]

Ya guys it sucks... i just wanna make sure i get my value on my sport stock wheels.my car is a sport model so they need to go by what my car comes with and its the 19 stock sports

[svard75]

Did you have wheel locks? We'll keep our eyes peeled for wheels like that. Check craigslist, ebay and kijiji and even facebook.

[Cabo]

Ya two of them had locks. Locks dont do much i hear dudes stealing oem wheels from dealers with locks like nothing... if they really want ur wheels they will get them the hard way

yeah thats very true, there are tools out that will be able to strip wheel locks (used normally for when the key is broken of the lock is broken)

but sorry for you lost man, those wheels are nice color though, we'll keep an eye out for you

[Partysan7]

Sorry to hear about that , makes me want to vomit !!!
But it seems like someone must have eye balled them for a while and came prepared to your driveway. I am afraid that whoever took them, did it for their own use or requested sale. But who knows, peoples stupidity has no borders and that you might find them posted somewhere. Good luck

[bejjutsu]

Sorry to hear. That really sucks.

[TXT]

Like Partysan has said, the people that stole the wheels probably already had an order for those rims of yours. They knew where to find the rims and came prepared with all the tools necessary. They were confident in their skills because they knew they wouldn't make noise to wake you up! I suggest a cheap camera set up for your drive way. Seriously.

Luckily it's only rims, it could have been your car that was stolen. Maybe next time, get 4 different types of wheel locks on each rim so they would have to work even harder to get them and possibly have someone change their mind once they actually look at it.

[DoN_BLaZe34]

That really effin sucks man, sorry you had to go through that.

[pedsemdoc]

That is some serious messed up sh*t...sorry that it happened to you.

I am so thankful I have a garage AND the parking garage where I work is regularly patrolled by both security/police and also has security cameras!!!

are there any distinguishing features of your rims besides the color?

they oughta stamp them with a unique ID number, sport rims are pricey!! but you might be able to find a set from someone upgrading their rims to aftermarket ones...there was a guy selling a complete set just a few weeks ago for under $1000

[Cabo]

Thanks guys.. i have a appraisal coming tomorrow hopefully we'll get me what is worth I don't know how it works out of never been through this before

[Minus (-)]

Damn man...sorry for your loss....time to invest in one of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_611 ... -507M.html

[Cabo]

Thats pretty cool.. so its a sensor with movement on car like jacking it up and stuff?

[ZiggyM16]

Very sorry my friend. I hate when I see or hear about incidents like that.

Thats pretty cool.. so its a sensor with movement on car like jacking it up and stuff?

Yes...its spefically for your car being tilted...like being towed or jacked up....i have that hooked to my girls car...I have it for my M As well,just not installed...before I purchased I was reading that it can tie into the oem alarm(don't remember 100% tho)...just never got around to it.....you can grab a lil surveillance camera and monitor for cheap too

[finikM35]

Damn man...sorry for your loss....time to invest in one of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_611 ... -507M.html

Does that work with our alarm? Very interesting, thanks.

[DaSerb]

WTF !!!
Damnnn...

Sorry about this.....that is the one thing I am afraid of. I guess that's why I have full insurance with $500 deductible just in case.

My sister's Acura S type wheels got taken if in front of her building last year. Insurance covered it and she got new wheels and tires.

Don't wish this on anyone.

Interested in this as well.

Wow dude, sorry to hear about your lose. Let the insurance company do there job and just look for a new pair. You probably wont see them again. Infiniti wheels are expensive coming from the dealer. My insurance got quote from locol dealer for rims and tires and just gave me the money to get them cause they didnt want to tow my FX(now wife's) off of the ceder blocks.

They got my 04 fx35 with 20's a few years ago in my driveway and I had after market 2 way page and didnt hear nothing. Neighbors heard my alarm, saw the people taking my rims, called the cops, security in my complex came but all was a little too late. Neighbors didnt want to get hurt for some tires. It was a whole messed outside while I was sleep(My turn to play single dad while wife was on deployment) after along day, but the perps still got away with my wheels.

The funny part is, I remote started it the next morning going to work(yes the car ran on top of the ceder blocks), son was sleep on my shoulder before going to preschool at 6am. Turn around to walk down the steps and mouth just hit the floor. Found a note saying police report was filed already and to call for it. Thats how I knew the extra stuff happened.....

[Wangtang408]

Some shady people out there, protect your nice expensive Sports rims and get wheel locks. Just to be safe, I'm going to order a 20pcs set to go along with my Infiniti locks.

So sorry you were violated like that. Fetucini used my car to take the girls shopping at Galleria two weeks ago. They even used the valet parking which is supposedly a patrolled area. When the attendant brought the car back up to the girls, they were placing the bags inside the trunk and noticed my rear decklid emblem and my brand new rear window spoiler was gone! The part that infuriated me most was that upon calling them to complain about thier lack of security and a blind eye to whats going on in front of their empty heads, they offered me a refund of the $5 valet fee. Oh yes, that completely made up for the trouble ?!?!?

I reckon my parts were stolen to be used on the thief's personal car - and I bet your thief is wearing your wheels on his car right now. If you can be a thief and still look at yourself in the mirror, it's the cheapest way to upgrade your car.
My driveway has a huge sliding wooden gate that I rarely if ever used. I now keep it closed and locked at all times. That plus my dogs (a shepherd, a retreiver, and two rottys) keep my car safe while at home.

I just read a post someone made on Reddit. Guy had a 3 Series BMW and was in similar situation as you. They only took two wheels though. Top rated comment may be helpful for you, but I have a feeling you've already taken action to replace the wheels. The guy had MA plates.

"Call your insurance carrier. This is considered a comprehensive loss and your rates cannot be increased for it by law. Sure. It will cost you your deductible but it's well worth it. Even if it's 1000$. Also be sure to check the underside where they blocked it. If your floor pan or rockers are scratched or damaged they WILL rust and fall apart. You need new undercoating ASAP"

[jallow33]

Very sorry for your loss, as this can happen to anyone, even with wheel locks. Car didn't have wheel locks when I brought it, so I purchased some gorilla locks

Im back and forth from CT to NYC all the time. While I can say that I'm not happy that this has happened to you, I am happy that you were able to post this and show what happened, because now I will even be more cautious being that it is so close

My complex parking lot has cameras and has bright a** lights that illuminate when motion is detected in dark areas, as well as police presence. That didn't stop a neighbor from getting the Lexus tires slashed about two weeks ago at about 2 30 in the morning, guess they were in some beef. So regardless, anything can happen

I sleep with a nice piece of chrome next to me every night, so any potential thieves better be cautious

These sport rims are big ticket items in NYC as well, so I will be checking craigslist, backpage, etc.. in these areas for you

[Cabo]

Ya i had the sensor lighting on my driveway but they managed to twist the bulb off... they even took every single lugnut so they did take their time obviously. It sucks but what can i do. Now i gotta look for some 19 stocks or even m56 sport 20 if i can find them. Luckly my cousin had his g35 coupe stocks i can borrow for now for i can take the crates out until i find some wheels again.

[Balance]

Damn thats brutal- I lived in Springfield for a few years goin to WNEC, its a rough city man gotta do whatever you can to prevent that s***. Im still in MA and always looking on CL for rims and will def keep an eye out. Best of luck I am sure insurance will cover it but those fuc*ers still deserve to get caught

[AirDoc]

ouch....yep...if thieves want something...they are gonna get it...sad, but they are experts - got me a couple times on past vehicles.

Check those out Cabo

[Cabo]

I like them but price is without tires suckss

[Double E]

I'm in Springfield about every other x-Mas (wife is from there). I'll be there this year too. It's a bad place, no doubt. I never take the M. Just the 13 year old Grand Cherokee....and my 9mm.

Hope this works out. I wonder what would happen if you had a friend post the milk crates for cheap on CL. Who would stop by and be driving what type of infiniti...on what wheels. Those crates aren't cheap or easy to find for obvious strength reasons.
