Were they stolen from you in Pottstown? Have you contacted the police? Did you have any security measures in place like an alarm, or locking lug nuts?

Those are common wheels that are found EVERYWHERE. Hate to say it, but the chances of you finding them are slim. Sucks to hear, but it is sadly the truth.

Sorry to hear man, but yeah, very doubtful you'll be finding that stuff.
Keep scouring craigslist and ebay. You never know.

Locking lug nuts are really useless anymore. You can buy a kit at most local automotive stores for like $40 that will pretty much allow you to take any sort of locking lugnut off the car. I had to get a kit one time when I lost the key lock for one of my cars. Made me realize, anyone who wants your rims bad enough, is gonna get em. Locking lugnuts or not. |

Even a worst case scenario where the 'bad guy' doesn't already have the right key: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAUUKD9nGks http://www.mactools.com/product/tabi...4-lt4000c.aspx http://community.craftsman.com/Craft...ws?tab=details OP, unfortunately you won't find the wheels. Even if you do there's no way to prove they're yours. Even with a receipt there's nothing on the wheels that says they're yours unless you inscribed them somehow. Your best security is a good insurance policy. You need to make sure that whatever insurance you get in the future will cover theft as well as aftermarket parts, and usually they'll only up to a certain value. If you need more coverage for more expensive parts you need a rider on the policy that will cover the aftermarket parts. For that kind of coverage you need to have detailed pictures and receipts, etc. before there's an issue. Most people who put stuff on their cars never think about this stuff until too late, even if it's just Rotas on their wife's car. Sorry to hear about the wheels.. I'll keep an eye out since I'm only a few minutes away, but realistically they're probably already spray painted and sold. When my friend called the police and reported his stereo stuff stolen he had receipts, original boxes, pictures of the actual stuff, etc. but the officers basically just laughed at him and said 'yeah, it's just gone'. Best thing you can do if check that grimy Cash Converters place down by the old Staples/Walmart. They always have all kinds of scumbag people in there selling s*** they probably stole. They have a 'wheels and tires section' in the back. Also check craigslist for a few weeks. Keep an eye out for 'quick sale' type of stuff with only a little info given. Don't just look for white either because like I said, they're going to spray paint them.

You wont ever see or proove there your wheels again. Learn to mark things in secretive ways, and take pictures of the markings next while showing your ID. Ive done that for all my high end parts. Its the only thing you can do. Alot of wheels from out here will be shipped to other states that mass sell wheels.
