| Need Rims ASAP
Long story but I just purchased a car and less than a week while outside my friend's home, someone jacks two of my wheels. Who jacks two wheels? At least take all 4 if you're going to do it.
My guess is something spooked them and they took off.
I don't really care at this point, I just want to know the best place I can get the following wheels?
Any help or if anyone knows of any deals it would be greatly appreciated.
They're 17's by the way. Thanks. Oh, and if you see someone trying to sell 2 of these feel free to PM me since the odds are they're mine.

did you not call the cops and get your comprehensive/vandalism insurance to deal with it? it dosen't effect your insurance, you just have to pay your deductible which is definatley less than two SSR wheels.

Which may or may not have been included during his sale..
Sucks that they got jacked, nice looking wheels, get some wheel locks. Not 100% theft-proof but it'll take them longer to jack?

ICBC needs papers and they came with the car. I don't have any papers which is fine.
Just looking on the web right now. Looks like it's going to run me about $1500 for rubber, mounting, rims etc. I had no idea these wheels ran that much. Ouch  | |

It happens... Someone jacked two of my rims (both the driver's side ones!?) in the middle of the night years ago... when I used to live in the West End. One was across the street in the park, the other was never found. At least they left the car on the jack, and not on the ground...
Needless to say.. I don't live in the fucking Downtown area anymore...

Nah, it was the factory jack from my own trunk.
Fuckers stole my system too, jumped on and caved in the roof, spray painted "Die Chink" on the hood (per Hackers I guess, but I'm not Chinese?!? I'm about as hairy a white guy as you can get without being suspected as a Sasquatch living among people...). Doused it in gas too, but didn't light it. Lucky me, ICBC fixed it. Cost me my deductible too...
But enough about me... back on topic!

If the wheels came on your car when you bought it, just go to a shop to get an insurance replacement receipt from them and give that to ICBC.

^^ just like I was going to say.
People do that all the time. ICBC jsut needs to know how much they are. If you have proof they were ON the car (photos) that's all you need.

^^ note: I'm thinking of picking up some damaged rims (exact same as the ones I had) for a really cheap price. I will post pictures later to see if you guys think it's worthwhile.
Any shops locally fix rims like this? At what point are rims too fucked up to be fixed? I guess the next would be where is a good place to buy a new barrel for these wheels? The ones I found online are tires and wheels but the barrel's are messed up.

Panthers is good and Greens is ok too.
Sometimes its cheaper to just buy a new wheel.
