Re: rims stolen!!!
Hey,
I live in NJ and when I went into the curb, it was $798 for the new left rear rim. Each rim costs $800, doesn't matter front or rear. They cost so much because they are 18" wheels that weigh only 18lbs and they are strong as f*ck. This rims are worth every penny....you can get replicas off of aaarims.com for $300-$400 each, but they will be heavier and not as strong.
$30 worth of wheel locks would have saved your friend ($800 * 4) + (~$350 * 4).

If he doesn't have insurance, then just buy some OEM rims off of Ebay or even off the Parts/Accessories page here on G35driver. As one person already mentioned, you can snag a practically new set of OEM "18 with good condition tires for around $1500.

Re: rims stolen!!!
Insurance companies are just an organized way of stealing peoples money. Think of all the money that goes in so they can cover your @$$ in the case something should happen. I'd say the average person (based on a $2000/year policy) pays at least $10,000 on insurance between claims. Now with that add the deductible, $500, then add the raise in premium (say it was stolen wheels ~$4000 worth), add $50 a month = $600 for the year x 3 years (minimum) $1800. You've now payed the insurance $12,300 to cover your @$$ in the case of a mishap. When in actuality they should have banked all that you have invested, maybe take some interest and feed from your supply. not charging you a penny more than your deductible. What a concept. Now if what you have banked exceeds the cost of your mishap, then and only then shall you be forced to pay an added excess. I think I'm on to something here.
