I had a 2007 M45 Sport that had its wheels and tires stolen on Sunday... gotta love Arizona. Not sure what kind they are and I was hoping for some insight from the forum.

You can clearly make out that they're Nitto NT555 tires but not sure which specific model. As for the rims, I believe they are 22" and they obviously are 10 spoke with an alloy finish. Anybody have any idea what kind of tire and wheel these are?

Any recommendations on anything comparable and not too flashy? I'm not into chrome and the M45 is silver so I don't think a black finish would work.

Good call. Thank you.

Yes. It was one of those really good deals that was impossible to pass up. The previous owner didn't buy them so didn't know anything about the tires or wheels. I had it for a couple of weeks and just had never circled around to check out what model.

Assuming these are/were GS-1s you're right that they're not 22's. Kicking myself for being too busy and not looking into it sooner.

Probably 3pc again. Just depends on what I find that I can't live without. I've been out of town a ton and been too busy to sell my old car so I have something to fall back on if delivery takes a bit.

Sorry to hear what happened. I love the wheels. FYI, Work wheels = $$$$ and often a long wait time to receive your order.

Got some other pictures from the previous owner and they are/were 20" Vellano VSOs.

Thats even better, 3 piece wheels aren't cheap. How's insurance handling it? Do you know if there were any wheel locks on them?

They did have wheel locks. Those aren't much of a deterrent for people that do this kind of thing for a living.

Are you set on those wheels for your car? Vossen makes some sweet wheels and I have a good friend who is a dealer for alot of wheel brands and gets good deals on wheels and tires. I'm also located in AZ. He hooked me up big time on my wheels.
