petey-pablo · 06-20-2009, 07:01 AM

As most of you knew from a previous thread the wheels on this truck were Foose Nitrous 22s x9.5 Tire size 295 30 22's BackSpace -13... Truck is Staticly dropped 4.5/5. BaddyBing BaddaBang It could easily Had laid frame but they were nice enough to leave it on blocks. Don't you just hate it when some LowLife takes what doesn't belong to them....Wheels were Stollen heres a BEFORE and AFTER you get the Picture.............................

PanelDeland · 06-20-2009, 07:25 AM

Theives suck!However knowing that they do and investing that much money in a set of wheels that are thief magnets without buying a set of wheellocks........

as Andy would say "I'm just saying....."

bad6772 · 06-20-2009, 07:36 AM

That just plain sucks

killer71 · 06-20-2009, 07:52 AM

I sure hate it! At least they left the truck tho, they took my entire ride only to find it later, spray painted with a spray can, new 5.3 smoking/knocking, dented quarter panel, and runined the wheels trying to get the lug nuts off....I hate a thief!

Longhorn Man · 06-20-2009, 07:57 AM

wheel locks just slow someone down. I'm not a thief and I know how to remove them w/out the key.

as much as it sucks to be ripped off, and to be out a set of rims, i do honestly 2 things good here.
People will steal the whol car just for a set of rims... Your truckss is still there, this is good.
Also, they left it up on blocks/rocks. I have never seen that happen. They usually try to balance the car on a beer can or something and it all gets kerfaggled when it drops on its own.

**Hart_Rod** · 06-20-2009, 08:12 AM

That blows! I'm glad they didn't take your truck.......

68 short step · 06-20-2009, 08:28 AM

they suck......but you still have a sweet looking truck...

Tx Firefighter · 06-20-2009, 09:15 AM

I agree with Andy. If you run real good wheel locks, they would have stolen the whole truck.

Longhorn Man · 06-20-2009, 09:20 AM

sad thing, his truck up on blocks with the wheels missing is still nicer than my two piles!
Do you have any back up rims?

liftmeup · 06-20-2009, 09:48 AM

At least they put it on blcks and not on the rotors, (you need to upgrade those anyway). COnsider it a lesson learned get yourself a clifford alrarm with shock pager so It will call you if it moves at all

19stepSide72 · 06-20-2009, 10:01 AM

That just made sick to my belly!!! I am very sorry this had to happen. With or without wheel locks. Where you home when it happened? Any neighbors with security cameras near by? Hope you get them back.

**72 Super** · 06-20-2009, 10:37 AM

Sorry this happened but atleast they didn't take your truck. Hopefully your truck isn't damaged. You have a very nice truck.

Ray

weircc · 06-20-2009, 10:52 AM

i see they left the lugs too those are same wheels i got but 20'S love the colors on your ride glad to see truck still intact

Skirkpat · 06-20-2009, 11:08 AM

Since my brand new centerlines got stolen in 1986, I just assume anything nice I put on the axles will constantly be a temptation for scumbags. Sorry to see that.

matthufham · 06-20-2009, 12:04 PM

i agree that it sucks, but you're lucky to still have the truck.

petey-pablo · 06-20-2009, 02:01 PM

Bad thing was the battery had died a couple days erlier and it had been removed for charging so the Alarm was out of commision.....

JohnC · 06-20-2009, 03:14 PM

That's terrible man, but like stated above at least the truck is still there, and not damaged.

71 burb · 06-20-2009, 03:23 PM

its a blessing the truck is still there and not vandulized sorry about the wheels

powerdriver 1958 · 06-20-2009, 03:55 PM

That is heartbreaking,whats the estimated worth.

big_al_71 · 06-20-2009, 05:44 PM

Hope you had insurance so you can get paid and get new ones.....I hate freaking thieves my self as much as the next guy.....My truck's battery dies it is getting towed to my shop or my garage it will NEVER be left in the street,,, I live in Miami and the same crap would happen...

OldSkool71 · 06-20-2009, 08:39 PM

Sorry to hear about that.

chas350 · 06-20-2009, 09:42 PM

That peeves me, what jerks.
Sorry for you

Putter · 06-20-2009, 10:30 PM

A good police department might have been able to lift prints off the 'left behind' lug nuts. I know I personally have NEVER been able to remove lugs using gloves!!!!

Ever consider having a jeweler or trophy shop engrave your VIN on the back side surface of the wheel? Hard to dispute that if you caught the guy. Just a thought for next time if you drop that much coin on a new set.
Hopefully not too many folks will be rolling that exact wheel in your area.

OregonC20 · 06-20-2009, 11:12 PM

I saw a video on youtube where this guy had his wheels stolen and later found them on Craigslist for sale. You never know you might find yours there too.

Pastdue72 · 06-21-2009, 12:43 AM

I feel your pain. I had a set of Colorado Customs on my 92 chevy truck. My mom drove it to take my grandmother to the theater in broad day light. They stole the whole truck to get the rims. They actually put another set of random wheels and tires on it and left it. They left two lowrider wheels on the front and what looked like spare tires for the rear. Guess they swapped them out. I had them on the truck less than 4 months.
