Even if they were rotas you worked hard for them and you should be able to enjoy modding your car, but low lives like this always have to ruin it. I felt the same way about my bumper, but i said f*ck it. I'm not gonna let some jack as* stop me from doing what I love, so sorry for your loss and hope everything works out for you.

Cleanfmtc, I live in ghetto a** Richmond. I see other tCs around the area, but I have no proof. This was their second attempt, the first time they just got the left side of the grill pushed in. This time they got more than half way pushed in, but a**holes messed up my bumper using something to pry at it.

Thankfully I have an alarm and it must of scared them off. I hope all the theives that steal from car enthusiasts die a horrible death.

Sorry to hear that man. Don't give up that easy. People are always a-holes. That's why when I buy my first house, it has to have a garage, no matter what. Hopefully you get everything fixed and catch the guy.

Sorry to see that bro. Don't get me wrong, but who in the HELL would want to steal Rotas? You could buy a set of them if you saved lunch money by packing your lunch for 3 months. So stupid.

Save your money and move to a better area. I'd rather be poor in a nice area then rich in the hood.

wheel locks are a deterrent.. they might send a thief to another car.. but it won't stop someone who wants your stuff..
They are easily defeated with a slightly oversized socket.. or take the other lugs off and pull hard enough and the stud breaks..

Sorry to see this and I feel bad for the OP... hopefully ur insurance covers them and you get another set of wheels soon..

take the other lugs off? every lug requires the key to remove.

Sorry to see that and hear what happened to you. Did you call the police and get a report put in? Not that it will make a world of difference, but they do have tuner patrols now so you might get lucky if it winds up on someone's ride a county over that got pulled over for siphoning someones gas while they were in church.

Hope you find the guys...I'd be on a mission my friend. If nothing else, I'd invest in a motion sensor camera in your ride.

Car too low? Nah, car may be too low to raise it without ____ing ____ up, but if they're stealing ____ from your car, they'll just jack it right on the rocker panel, why would they care?

Also whoever says who would steal Rotas? You think thieves know what they're stealing? They are uneducated low lifes most of the time, and just steal things that look nice and worry about the value later. Even fake wheels are relatively expensive, who the ____ has $1200 laying around as 'lunch money' ?

Depends on what you guys are talking about, most people opt for the TRD style kits, all 20 lug nuts are replaced, 16 of which are the slotted style and the last 4 (1 of each) are the actual 'locking' nuts where the outside is round, and the middle has a weird shape that you insert your key into.

That's hardcore dick bro, sorry to hear.

Yeah, car game is fun when you got money to burn but when theft sets you back like that then it's time to put it on hold till its truly disposable income you're burning...
