why rx gods why!?!?!?!

i woke up this morning only to find my beautiful baby sitting on four cement blocks with all four rims and tires stolen off of it, just so happens i didnt park it in my garage the night before, i called my insurance company and to my surprise they sent out an estimator within hours, i wont recieve my actual estimate until tommorow , but i was told by the estimator that im looking at a 4000 dollar return, any ideas on what kind of rims i should go with, im looking to go with aftermarket rims instead of the stocks, any suggestions, thanx guys!

I've always wondered... When people steal your wheels... they're actually kind enough to leave your car up in the air on all four blocks, to not damage it? :P

My recomendation...


Kind of expensive but I love these wheels. Alot of people ive spoken with disagree with me, but I think they are sweet and if I had 4k, thats where Id spend it. Good luck with whatever you choose though. This is only my suggestion. Cheers!

Damn, $4K for stock rims ??? Go for some Enkeis if you want to race, or the MS units are pretty nice. And a set of wheel locks for $20.

i've seen cars left like that b4 on the side of the road before. but, no the thieves are not being nicie. how else are they going to elevate the car at minimum cost? plus they want to get the hell outta there as quickly as possible...

They were stock rims? If they were, dont get you hopes up on 4k. Insurance companies dont just give money away. Not when they can get rims for < $350/ea.

Sorry that you got ripped.

$4000 for stock rims and tires is ******* ridiculous. at MSRP you're talking $2500 MAX. I'd really be surprised if you get $4k back, and if so, please tell me which insurance company you use so I can switch.

I think you should spend the 4k for garage extension.

Wouldn't have mattered if you had them on there or not. If they wanted them bad enough, they WILL have gotten them.
