CA: 16x8 -15 Precedeo Demon Camber Wheels + RE01R Tires - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ixfxi · 02-19-2009, 07:59 PM

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)

Sounds like Downey all right...

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

projectRDM · 02-19-2009, 08:10 PM

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 · 02-20-2009, 12:34 AM

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

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.

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 · 02-21-2009, 11:56 AM

Quban.Russian mx73 · 02-21-2009, 12:06 PM

lflkajfj12123 · 02-21-2009, 01:47 PM

looks like we have a winner

DreamN · 02-21-2009, 02:03 PM

damn, anyway to do something about it now?

**ThatGuy** · 02-21-2009, 02:05 PM

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

ixfxi · 02-21-2009, 02:09 PM

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*** · 02-21-2009, 02:53 PM

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 · 02-21-2009, 03:37 PM

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

***CrimsonRockett*** · 02-21-2009, 04:19 PM

Damn, that's crazy.

I really do hope those are your wheels.

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

ixfxi · 02-21-2009, 04:22 PM

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 · 02-21-2009, 04:32 PM

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.

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.

Thank you.

Quban.Russian mx73 · 02-21-2009, 08:40 PM

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.

ixfxi · 02-21-2009, 08:47 PM

FYI, more pics of my wheels...

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 · 02-21-2009, 09:52 PM

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

articdragon192 · 02-21-2009, 10:10 PM

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 · 02-21-2009, 10:23 PM

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.

Quban.Russian mx73 · 02-24-2009, 02:08 AM

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.

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).
