Ok so I went out of my house this morning to go to work and I found that my G35 was on blocks and all four wheels were gone.

I'm waiting for the insurance adjuster now..

I need some input, what wheels should I get to replace them? I don't want to go high end because well, they could get stolen again.

So, G35 Wheels that clear Brembos, Flush and less than $1500 for the set.

GO!

FYI my last wheels were 18x8.5 +20 and 18x9.5 +20

Wow, thats just sad. I hate people What wheels did you have before? Pictures? Did you have wheel locks?

What about getting some clean used BBSs off RBmotoring, or another importer.

Stock Rays?

Fairly light and probably least likely to get jacked.

I wanna know why someone who steals a man's wheels would bother keeping the car up on blocks in the first place.

The blocks came from a neighbors front yard.... They left their jack behind! Idiots. My wheels were more or less worthless to resell.. They were Ruff Racing and had like 50k miles of abuse on them. Oh and they left my Brembo's alone!

I'll see what my insurance offers me, I think i'll be able to get a better set of wheels for only the cost of my deductible. I'm look at those te37 knockoffs.. 19x10.5 +12

FWIW the cops may be able to lift some prints off the jack, so these tards may be able to be caught

whatever you do.... get wheel locks with the new ones! it will at the very least make it hard enough that someone will see them before they leave... and in most cases they just won't even do it if they see locks

I have some Volk GT-N's for sale for way less than 1500. They clear z32 brakes, but I'm unsure of the Brembos.

Winner

stop hiring illegals and more people might consider citizenship or not jumping borders.
