CA: 16x8 -15 Precedeo Demon Camber Wheels + RE01R Tires

[ixfxi]

Well.. its been some time since these got stolen, so I am not going to sit and cry about it - i'm over it really. But, I figure I'll make the post and put it out there. These wheels are so rare and so unique, that I really dont think anyone can own a set without people knowing it. I mean, they are -15 offset so they dont fit anything but a wide-body car equipped with 5x114.3 lug pattern. Not only that, I disassembled them and powdercoated them in a matte-black finish. So...........

Last I saw them they were on my car at this shady body shop in Downey that works on old VW bugs, buses and ghias. F&J autobody owned and operated by Freddy and Jesse, nice guys but horrible businessmen who cant finish projects that they start.

My car literally sat in that body shop for 2.. 2.5 years. During that time, it was being worked on at a snails pace undergoing widebody and full restoration. Big mistake chosing that shop, but hey we move on.

Anyway, if anyone ever finds these wheels let me know. I'll gladly compensate them with a reward, blowjob from a hot chick, etc...

I can be reached at [email protected] / 323-201-2713 / PM.

Thanks for viewing and good luck to us all.

specs:
- 16x8 -15 offset, 5x114.3

how can you tell they're mine?
- matte black finish, missing 2 fasteners on 1 of the wheels
- had brand new bridegestone RE-01R tires (245/45/16)
- metal valve stems (chrome)

[ellisonrox]

Sounds like Downey all right... :duh:

Sorry to hear about your wheels.. I'll definitely be on the look out for them.

[projectRDM]

I fucking loved those wheels. And I would pay good money to see the fucker who stole them and everyone who knows about it get sliced up into bloody pieces.

[Jaygotboost]

I know what shop your talking about , Its on Lakewood blvd right by Downey landing ? They are cool peeps but do shitty work and have a bunch of cars sitting there with parts ready to be jacked . I almost had them do a clutch and decided It wasnt the best option

[CrimsonRockett]

I hope you get these wheels back.

I bought a full set in the exact same sizes from JDM land in silver.

Absolutely love them.

[Quban.Russian mx73]

one of the wheels is missing 2 bolts omfg wow

[lflkajfj12123]

looks like we have a winner

[DreamN]

damn, anyway to do something about it now?

[ThatGuy]

I got Mike on the phone right now. Something is being worked out.

:rawk: :rawk: :rawk:

[ixfxi]

The guy who currently has my wheels is a nice guy, he called me earlier today.

I'll keep the forum up-to-date with what happens. Looks like things are turning up and hope was not lost.

[FaLKoN240]

That's good, I remember that you wanted mine a while back when I was selling them.

Now that I've sold my CR KAIS I wish I still had my full set. :(

[allntrlundrgrnd]

holy shit that would be sick if you recover them! good luck with those very rad wheels

[CrimsonRockett]

Damn, that's crazy.

I really do hope those are your wheels.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f61/GLORIA82/DSCF0420.jpg

Judging by this picture, you can see the front wheel is missing two of the fasteners.

[ixfxi]

they are my wheels, theres no question about it. there are no other black demon cambers on this planet earth, matte-black for that. and the guy who has them admitted that they have 2 studs missing.

like i said, i'll let you guys know what happens.

i just want to make sure things are handled properly.

[SoCal-s130]

Why are you sneaking through peoples photobuckets CrimsonRocket. That's RUDE. And I sure hope you guys aren't trying to be against Quban.

[FaLKoN240]

Why are you sneaking through peoples photobuckets CrimsonRocket. That's RUDE. And I sure hope you guys aren't trying to be against Quban.

They have an option to make photobuckets PRIVATE.

You can snoop through people's photobuckets if they don't have shit to hide.

It's not the dude's fault he got sold a car with stolen wheels.

He owns a car with STOLEN property so there really isn't shit he can do about it if Mike filed a police report when they were jacked, and if he decides to get the police involved.

[ThatGuy]

And I sure hope you guys aren't trying to be against Quban.

Not at all. He and Mike have already talked. He knows they are Mike's wheels and they are working something out.

The wheels have been found, they belong to ixfxi. They will be returned to the rightful owner.

No other "proof" or anything else is needed at this time. Mike will fill us in when he gets it taken care of I'm sure.

Quban appears to be a mere innocent bystander here. I seriously doubt he wants to be thought the thief, otherwise he wouldn't have posted and contacted Mike about the wheels. No one is trying to hammer the kid for "Possession of Stolen Property" or anything. Everybody calm down and let the parties involved solve things. :bow:

Thank you.

[Quban.Russian mx73]

alright well turns out they are mikes wheels ..im pretty bumed about this whole thing
but im an honest guy so gotta do the right thing .

[ixfxi]

edit: thanks lee for man-ing up and doing the right thing. i'll be forwarding all the necessary info to the authorities for an investigation. stay tuned for next weeks episode of dragnet.

[drift freaq]

wow congrats Mike, there is justice in the world still.

[ixfxi]

The shop that worked on my car is not on lakewood. They are located on Woodruff and do not do mechanical work, only paint work.. mostly on older VW's. For people who dont know about paint and body, they're work looks really good for the price.

The problem is, during the 3 years my car was there.. I learned so much about paint and body that I am glad they DIDNT paint my car. There is a big difference in painting an old VW and painting a modern car. A VW bug has a small sum total of parts, most of which are metal and can be cleaned or restored easily if oversprayed. Modern cars have so many pieces and use so much plastic that mistakes can be difficult to correct. You end up with a paint job that may look good from far or from the outside, but when you get close you'll see all the flaws. Since I did a full paint job inside and out, it would have been a nightmare worth of flaws because cleanliness counts..... bigtime. Those that have seen the recent pics of my car know what I am talking about and appreciate the work that went into the project, and the work was NOT done by F&J.

[articdragon192]

Wow, that is crazy Mike. Good to see your wheels were found. Lee, sucks you happened to be the bystander here, but you're awesome for standing up. Any other low life would have just said nothing. Much respect

[ixfxi]

Dont worry, I'm in the process of helping Lee get a replacement set of NEW wheels for his car, in addition to some other parts.

Good things come to good people for doing good things. Karma baby.

[ixfxi]

alright well turns out they are mikes wheels ..im pretty bumed about this whole thing
but im an honest guy so gotta do the right thing .

met up with lee today and got my wheels back... minus my poor RE01R tires, tear. ;( im sure any of you can understand that any amount of recovery is better than no recovery, and fortunately the wheels appear to still be in fairly good shape with no apparent rash or bends.

lee, i made a request to upgrade you to premium status here on the forum, just a way of saying thanks. your membership should kickin sometime this week once the admins get around to taking care of that for me. i also renewed my membership for another year, thanks for having this very useful section zilvia admins.

thanks again for being an honest person and returning my wheels.

[Quban.Russian mx73]

no prob. mike .....im glad i could help out ...it felt good to help a new friend
hey you wouldnt happened to have another set of those z wheels would you
i photo shopped them on a pic of my car they would look real good ..let me know

[racepar1]

HOLY SHIT! Those are my old fenders on that car! LOL! The previous owner showed up at my shop one day and I was eyeballing the hell out of those wheels. Congratulations Mike, that shit is crazy!

[ixfxi]

350z anniversary wheels are 18x8 and 18x8.5, offset is ~ +30.. no no for your widebody car. You're best suggestion is to go with the FN01R's that you originally asked about. Good bang for the buck, a zillion times better than the shitty rota/sportmaxx wheels or anything else.

I would only run a 18" wheel if you absolutely need it (brake clearance and/or HP). Since youre running Z32 brakes, I'de stick with 17x10... perfect for widebody and good should you upgrade to larger brakes. Im running 17x10's as well (f/r).

[I10cruiser]

holy shit i was there that day. . and your riend withthe black kouki tow his car to your shop because he fried his fender harness !!right?. .thhose wheels are so sick in person. . congrats on getting them back !HOLY SHIT! Those are my old fenders on that car! LOL! The previous owner showed up at my shop one day and I was eyeballing the hell out of those wheels. Congratulations Mike, that shit is crazy!

[soreballz]

Holy shit.... Two thumbs up for you, Lee.

Cool shit here... I look forward to seeing updates on tracking the original theif.

[ixfxi]

You and Aron said that you met the previous owner in person. The kid actually lives in Reseda, so its no surprise that he came by your shop since you're off of Reseda as well Aron.

Does anyone have any more info on this guy, or know if he actually purchased these wheels? I'm trying to see if anyone can vouch for his side of the story, which is he purchased them used off of craigslist for 1500-1600.

I find it funny that someone spent that kind of coin off of craigslist, to buy a used wheel thats a -15 offset.. when most people have no idea how to use or fit a wheel like this.

When Lee bought his car, the RE01R tires were still mounted but worn to hell. Its pretty apparent that the previous owner was the one who used the wheels and tires since they only have a treadwear of 140.

If anyone can step up with more info, please feel free to PM me. I'de like to give the PD / detective as much info as possible.

[I10cruiser]

i remembered him saying that he got them with the car and didnt even know what they where. . thats all i remember :/ sry

[RaceBred 17]

Hey I believe you said that you would get the person who found them a blow job from a hot girl. Technicly he found them, so keep your part of the deal.

[Entry Speed]

Damn good peeps for real. Nice to see there are still honest people out there. Glad you guys were able to work something out. :bow:

[ixfxi]

i remembered him saying that he got them with the car and didnt even know what they where. . thats all i remember :/ sry

can you describe what the guy looked like who told you he got them with the car?

[RiversideS13]

maybe you can ask craigslist to help you with the sale ad?

[projectRDM]

maybe you can ask craigslist to help you with the sale ad?

Doubtful. Since CL is a free site they don't track hardly anything that goes on and once it's deleted from the system it's gone. I'd bet there's no way to backtrack through them to get any information. On the other hand, it was only a matter of time before they turned up somewhere, there's no way something that rare and unique can go unnoticed for very long. It's awesome that the new owner came forward and the deal worked out. Congrats Mike. I'd have far less patience had that happened to me.

[HungryHank]

this sounds shitty for the guy who gave back the rims.


did you get anything back in return?

or just gave away 800 dollar rims you bought with the car.

[ThatGuy]

Hmmm, gave back "$800 wheels" as you say, or dealt with Johnny Law for possesion of stolen property? Wow, tough choice.

They worked something out.

[FaLKoN240]

You obviously don't know how the police work with STOLEN PROPERTY.

He filed a police report when they got stolen.

Then guy comes on and ADMITS that he has the stolen wheels, along with witnesses and other people telling him that they know who has the stolen wheels.

If he didn't work something out, the police would take the dude's car for investigation and in all likely hood he would not get it back, or he sure as hell wouldn't get it back with the wheels on it.

It happened to my friend, he lost his FC because the car got stolen like 7 years previous to him buying it.

[rb25crazy]

haha wow that's awfully nice of the guy to give back the rims, is his car just in the air now? that's pretty crazy this is the kinda thing that should be on the news instead of some guy getting shot, raped etc....

[!Zar!]

Are you sure you are twenty three?

Did you not read ANYTHING posted in this thread aside from like two posts?

The guy who had the wheels owned stolen property.

So it could've been one of two things, loose his wheels or lose his car and the wheels along with possible being charged with possession of stolen property.

And nothing against Mamos, but I would much rather hear about REAL news. Someone losing a life or having a traumatic experience is MUCH more important that someone loosing an inanimate object.

If you read through, he worked something out with the person who indeed have his wheels.
