wheels stolen
 

hi everyone, today i noticed that someone stole all 4 of my wheels and tires and now my car is sitting on wooden blocks in the basement.. :( i was wondering if i would need a tow or can someone just come down to the basement and help me put the new wheel and tires on.. becasue i contacted a company and they said they can come over and put them on for me. if they can put it on for me, i wouldnt need a tow anymore right?

You can jack one end up with the other on wooden blocks.

and invest in some wheel locks...i had some one mine till i lost the key...their suprisingly easy to get off tho. but ive heard the spline ones are harder to remove without the key.

but that sucks bro. you puttin steelies back on?

Troll much?

How the hell did you get your car into your basement?

Re: wheels stolen
 

I've lived in an apartment with an underground parking garage for it's tenants, and I can see how someone might call it a basement.

Re: wheels stolen
 

what kind of wheels

Re: wheels stolen
 

stock ones

Re: wheels stolen
 

I have nothing better to do, ill go help u put them on when r u doing ti

Re: wheels stolen
 

who steals stock civic wheels..

Re: wheels stolen
 

prolly the 2000 SI rims, the only ones people seem to think are worth stealing.

Re: wheels stolen
 

or someone needed tires

Re: wheels stolen
 

yeah get some wheel locks. they can be taken off with some force and some time, but 99% of the time a thief will go to the next car when they see wheel locks because they're looking for something quick and easy.

Re: wheels stolen
 

most thieves already have the "ebay wheel lock master kit" which has pretty much every key made so if they are nice wheels, they will take an extra minute to find the key in their kit.

Re: wheels stolen
 

WHAT.. if you got no wheels and tires then how did your shit get in the basement? What basement could you get it into? If your shit is already in the basement why you need a tow? Why canta you put on your own shit? WHAT WHAT WHAT.

True dat.

Re: wheels stolen
 

You should look into these lock nuts, the free spinning sleeve on the outside prevents thieves from using a lug extractor or socket over the lock itself. The inner gap is thin enough that and extractor can't get inside either. Their only choice would be to drill out the center and try to split the nut and sleeve. This would take them forever to do though and not worth the risk of getting caught.

^That's actually a decent design, it's not the best out there, but decent. It would slow down a thief hammering an impact socket onto the lug.

Re: wheels stolen
 

Even if they hammer on a socket, they would be gripping the sleeve that spins freely, and if they try to split the center with a chisel, the sleeve still holds it together :P

Re: wheels stolen
 

They could hammer a socket into the inner portion, difficult but not impossible for an experienced wheel thief. I will be using magnetic wheel locks when I finally pick up a set of bbs rs.

Re: wheels stolen
 

everythings taken care of. got a set of enkei ev5's 17x7 with sumitomo all season tires. gorrilla wheel locks. was hoping to get a set of bbs rgr's but didnt have the money...

Looks really good!

Re: wheels stolen
 

Looks great, but looks like it needs to drop at least an inch :P

Re: wheels stolen
 

If you have a decent car alarm it'll go off as soon as a thief tries to tap it on. Though car alarms are a questionable deterrent, it'll give him a significantly smaller time window before I come out there with a minigun to mow his ass down.
