Last September, a Long Island-area Nissan GT-R owner awoke to find all four of his wheels missing. Now it's happened in Queens. It's a regular crime spree. Save the GT-R wheels? More*»

holy fuck.. thats sucks. where do they put these GT-R wheels? i mean, id understand if they were volks or something. are they? but OEM GT-R wheels? Do they fit S14's or 13's for that matter?

@ ~$2k for those wheels each, plus the tires... yeah, there would be people willing to buy them and the tires on them at a "discounted" price.

The stock wheels are fugly - who'd want them?

hmm i guess so, but for $90K car, it doesnt even come with individual wheel locks.

those'll look like crap on an s chassis...iirc 19" stock. probably might look good on a G/Z chassis though.

doesnt it have wheel locks?

Wheel locks are useless if the person is determined enough.

Atleast now he can get some sportmaxes or rota's...

LOL

It's just sad......

retarded people are everywhere.

20s actually...

# 20 x 9.5" (front) and 20 x 10.5" (rear) super-lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with Gunmetal Gray finish.
# Exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Bridgestone� RE070A high-capacity run-flat summer tires, 255/40R20 front and 285/35R20 rear.
# Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
# Optional exclusively developed nitrogen-filled Dunlop� run-flat all-season tires, 255/40R20 front and 285/35R20 rear (includes Bright Silver wheels).

my apologies. i was just going off the top of my head. haven't really studied the GTR specs.

Say it ain't so!

if you can afford a GT-R I would think you could afford wheel locks and a heated garage to store it was well.

seems like someones trying to be baller but isn't, kinda like driving a GT-R and living in an apartment complex, or the ghetto.

because people with nice cars never visit people right?

maybe its the person who got his GT-R wheels stolen last year lol

maxima looks sweet. maybe stolen front bumper too!!

you think^^^^^^^ not even the right year bumper...lol

is that a fucking rock holding that shit up lol

and park a $90k car on the curb. . .

if I'm driving to see a friend and going to have to park on the curb, I'm not driving anything I don't want getting stolen to begin with.

This isn't a hand crafted Ferrari - it's a Nissan.

Thats the owners own fault. I wont even park my 240 on the street in Queens, for him to expect his GT-R not to get fucked with was just foolish.

Let me say this AGAIN. . . a $90k Nissan, which if the guy is ballin outta control then fine let him go buy another set of wheels and tires. I could care less. But he's a moron for parking something that EXPENSIVE on a curb.

always amazes me how they never take the brembos!

sux for that guy.. living in nyc can suck he should of stop being so flashy and park his shit up.. common you got money for a gtr afford a $100/mo garage space.. smh

Yeah the brakes are super baller y not take them too

i would assume because it would take more time than they would want to risk, i mean with an impact gun taking off the wheels is like a 2 minute ordeal, taking the brakes off is a little bit more involved

DAAAAAAAAAMMMMNNNNN!!!!!!
he got did dirty! :barfkiss: straight left it on a rock lol

not really with an sawsall.... anyone who's very mechanically inclined could have them off fairly quickly.

That being said, its really a shame people are doing this... its always the same low income ghetto people too.

They should start cutting off fingers as punishment instead of useless jail time
