I would like to share a sad story with you guys if i may. About 2 weeks ago i woke up in the morning and got ready to go to work. As im leaving i see my car "omg wtf is going on here" on 4 cement bricks and the wheels(iforged 20" aero's) are gone. As i get closer to the car i notice my windows are down and there's a huge hole in my door right below where the keyhole is. Upon futher inspection i notice like a lever inside the hole so i put my finger in it and push the lever down. All of a sudden my windows go up and if i do it again they go back down. So basically theis fu*kers knew exactly what they were doing to gain access inside my car. My wallet was stolen my cd's and my ipod. Yes i know im stupid for leaving that stuff inside my car, but what can i do. I even had locks on each wheel. Just wanted to share my story with you guys. Basically the moral of my story is be very careful with your rims, even with locks your not safe, and if u can park your car in the garage do so. I wish i could but my dad's stupid XLR takes the space, lol.

Re: RIMS STOLEN!!
Oh man, this sucks big time ! my favorite wheels nonetheless...
If I get those or any other aftermarket wheels for that matter, I'll make sure to put 5 different sets of wheel locks on them.

Sorry about the rims bro. Did they find your wheel locks? Or did they use their own?

Dam that sucks. Sounds like we need to do that mod to disable that window feature. Anyone have that link handy?

Re: RIMS STOLEN!!
My condolences....that sucks.

I think I'll stick with the stock 18's. Those aftermarket wheels are just too tempting to thieves (even though the stock 18's are pretty tempting themselves).

Re: RIMS STOLEN!!
sorry to hear that. It seems like aftermarket rims make a real target if you don't park your car inside at night.

Re: RIMS STOLEN!!
damm!!!! I have iforged evos.. I only have one set of wheel locks.. I think what happened is that they got inside the car and most likely found the wheel lock nut inside and that how they were able to take the wheels..
Pisses me off!

Re: RIMS STOLEN!!
Thank you everyone for your comments, i appeerciate them. As for my locks thats exactly what happened they found the lock key in the glove and got the wheels off like that. Also acouple days later my neighbor that has a maxima got his rims stolen. He said he saw the guys as they were leaving it was 4 punk kids in a white van. Also the same exact brick style was used so it had 2 be the same guys. I also heard some guy in a 350z got his sh#t stolen not to long ago either by my house. So theis kids must be making a killing.
