STOLEN: 1 YES 1 949Racing 6ul
 
Hey guys, just had a really F**King fun morning, woke up and some ass hat had stolen one wheel of my a 15x9 +36 offset black 6ul mounted to a 225/45/15 bf goodrich geforce rival with CF pattern cap, who does these kind of things still.

please keep an eye out in the Vancouver Area, a police report has been filed

Jobo 05-06-2014 11:53 AM

I know lug nut locks mean nothing but did you have one?

falcon 05-06-2014 12:39 PM

Honestly man, it's really your fault for not running wheel locks. Or even two wheel locks. People like stealing nice wheels... and have for a long time. No one to blame but yourself.

did i miss something. where does it say he DOESNT have locks?

and even with locks its not hard to find a key to fit. if they wanted the wheels bad enough they could have scoped it out, got the right key and come back.

:suspicious:

so if someone stole you car its your fault the other person knew what they were doing..

probably take less time to steal a car than a wheel.. think about it

EYES OUT IN VANCOUVER

LemonT 05-06-2014 07:53 PM

Falcon thanks for the input, and yes it was present, but these thieves knew what to take, the wheels are staggered in width and they knew wider of the pairs was what they wanted. Also no damage to the car was done, they didn't drop the car so they clearly knew how to get in and out with their jack.

Thanks Snails for the input as well, would love to find out who it was, would much rather have the community know who did such a thing and have them shunned by the community

Wow that really sucks. I'll keep an eye out in Richmond and Burnaby.

saveth 05-06-2014 10:01 PM

Wheel locks are useless. It only deters people that have no idea how to steal wheels. If a thief really wants something, its very hard to stop them.

swfk 05-07-2014 05:21 AM

Wheel locks are for the unprepared thieves. An oversized socket will make wheel locks useless

jackal 05-07-2014 05:29 AM

just check craigslist for cool coffee tables

underscore 05-07-2014 08:27 AM

For anyone still curious this is the tread pattern of said tire on said rim

What was present? Locks? Cause that picture you posted has no locks on the wheels.

snails posted that picture, not lemont. i do not think that is lemont's car... just a sample picture showing what the wheel looks like.

falcon 05-08-2014 01:03 PM

Gotcha.

shenmecar 05-08-2014 01:14 PM

I've lost my wheel lock key before, I took my car to my friend's shop and he had the wheel lock off in about 10 minutes. Not that hard..........

LemonT 05-08-2014 09:28 PM

SO I got a chance to e-mail Emilio over at 949racing, the dam restock is in October! Holy F**K

falcon 05-08-2014 09:51 PM

Classic 949Racing... I hated dealing with them so much BS with wait times. Great product but I hate waiting.

ugh. that could be the reason why someone just needed one because they did not want to wait...

teggy604 05-09-2014 05:44 AM
