All 4 Tires+rims stolen from my G35

I posted this on the 6mt forum, but i saw in several threads over there that referenced this forum, so I thought i would post.

Original thread at 6mt: http://www.6mt.net/forum/g35-coupe/3...en-my-g35.html

Basically, all 4 tires and rims were stolen from my car. I need to replace the Rims and Tires (19" OEM), but I am not sure where to order from. I have looked at Tirerack.com, but I am not knowledgeable about rims, and not sure what rims have the same look and feel as the 19" OEM.

What do you guys reccomend as a replacement for the 19" OEM's? (something i can order direct, as i dont have a lot of time to deal with ebay, etc)

The car is at my mechanics now, and I am meeting the insurance appraiser tomorrow morning.

Here is a pic of my car in sad shape:


Thanks!

all in all, they seemed rather polite about it. I couldn't find a scratch on it really. The blocks were quite helpful in getting her on the tow-truck too

WTF they took your STOCK 19's

That is a good point. How to prevent this from happening again. I saw some posts about Gorilla Locks. Does anyone have them? I wasn't quite clear from their website exactly what i needed to order.

oh ok, far enough from me...lol no wonder it looks familiar though, Maryland has that look to it.

Anyway, try posting in the NationalG CLub. They've recovered wheels before in the MD/VA/DC area....ended up on an eclipse

Are Gorilla Locks Worth it? And, what do I need to order from them? On their website, they have "Lug Nuts" and "Wheel Locks" listed. Do i just order the appropriate Wheel Locks?
