Remember my friends Escalade with 24s?

Stolen right out of his driveway.
He hadn't even had them on a month.

Daayyymmnnn that sucks. Wheel locks ftw.

Damn that's horrible

Locking lugs were on there. They really don't do **** at all to a good thief.

that blows..

ya, thats terrible.

Atleast they put it on blocks and not on the ground, right?

Still sucks BAD.

That does suck.

That was for their own benefit so they could get the jack out. What would give me a chuckle is that if the stones were from his own landscaping.

If anyone in the Orlando area could keep a look out for either someone selling these wheels or someone who just got some new 24s it would help.

They are Giovanna Caracas on Nitto tires.

I'm gonna start engraving any wheels I buy so that it's really obvious they're mine if they're stolen and found. That's terrible.

Some people have taped a sheet with their name and address and phone number inside the tire on the wheel saying something along the lines of "if the person getting work done is not John Doe then they are stolen. Please contact blah"

But a marking on the outside would make it obvious too.

That's a good idea, too.

Very good idea.

what sucks is whoever stole them will sell them for 1/4 of what they are worth simply to get rid of them...

Crackheads for the loss....can pretty much guarantee they were taken in order to get money for drugs

Hope he had a serial number etc off the wheels...keep an eye on your local craigslist etc....theives can be smart to get them, but dumb when it comes to the things they do after the crime.

Holy ****. That's insane. I would expect that from Detroit, or L.A.

If he can afford a truck like that, he can afford the insurance. This time he can get some better looking wheels, or take the money and put it to better use such as air suspension I keed I keed.

I was just thinking about my other friend who got it even worse than this. He had a Denali on 24s and one day somebody slashed his tires so he got the tires replaced and the next day the whole truck was stolen. For being the scum of the earth, thieves can be pretty smart.

That really sucks! That truck looked bad a!

I'm really sorry to hear about this man. I would hunt someone down and kill a ***** man

I would let the air out of my own tires if I was not going to drive for a while and then laugh when someone tries to steal my car...just kidding...sucks for your buddy...

Did you lend him the wheels you got from him?

Nope. We're two hours away from each other when at school. I'm in Gainesville, he's in Orlando, and my stock wheels are in Ft Lauderdale. Plus I paid for these fair and square

But seriously, I would probably give them back if he really wanted them even though I would be sad to see my stock wheels back on.

those wheel locks suck ass. YOu need to get the mc guard type. I have 2 of those on each rim (both have different key) and the other 3 lug nuts are the gorilla locking nuts. total of 3 different locks on each rim. Might say its alittle over board but i don't want to come out to my truck and find it on blocks

Damn that really sucks. Yeah depending on the brand of locking lugs that were used,they can be fairly easy to get past.Most of the time they will just tap on an old socket and bust it loose. Let me guess...no aftermarket security system,just a factory setup was on his ride? If you're going to have some Hi dollar rollers on your ride,you definitely need an security system that has quality shock sensors and tilt switches.

exactly. my old truck was broken into w/ the factory alarm..lets not call it alarm lets call the factory ****. Thankfully insurance paid for everything
Now with my explorer i just installed the viper 5901 series. Has the lastest technology and is by far the best alarm there is. 1 mile radius range its just a real nice piece..alittle pricy but worth it. If he is looking for an alarm let me know i'll hook him up with a good price

I'm lookin for an alarm now, but I need to save up bigtime. I had the Viper 5900 on my last truck.

How much do those alarms run for blk?

Damn... I'd be SO **** if that happened to my truck... Although not really right now, BUT if I had nice wheels I'd be SO ****!

I had the viper 5900 on my Malibu and got it taken out when it was totaled and now that i have my pricey radio in i got the 5900 put back in but i paid in total $400 installed for it including my bypass(on the bu). I think the 5901 is the new version of the 5900 if i am giving false information sorry. Good alarm though.

People are such assholes though. I agree that it was prolly for drug money. Such a messed up move.

Wow that sucks...

Damn, I hope he finds them.

Edit, I have lock lugs on my wheels that only the tool I have is suppose to unlock them but why are they so easy to bypass if there made to stop this kind of action?

I had a print out that someone posted on another forum to put all your info for stolen wheels, but its on my other PC (which has Mega Ultra Aids)

Better rememeber that thats in there, incase you sell them LOL

That sucks alot, Im worried about my wheels

Is this the same guy who did a swap for the stock 22s to a Truck and put 24s on it or no?

damn, insult to injury. I'd be ****! I wish I lived in Texas because you could shoot pieces of **** that do this stuff...

Hammer + Bar = Broken stud.

Or you get a socket that's a little smaller than the locking nut/stud. Take a hammer and pound the socket onto the locking nut/stud. Remove socket and locking nut/stud.

From my observation, very few people actually park their cars in their garages in FL

Wow that sucks!
