from the guy who took the pics:
True Story: As I drove up to this driveway to pick up the Mercedes for a Photoshoot, I see this.
3 cars on bricks, 1 house, all done the same night.
Real pros with big ball pulled this one off.

good reason to use lock nuts on your rims... could be avoided by just doing that.

[yamahar6]

I'm sure they did have lock nuts. Remember if a thief wants something that bad they will get it

[ilvtofu]

yeah OEM locks are pretty easy to come by, an alarm is what you need, surprised the range didn't go off, you'd need to jack it quite high to get that wheel off

[boatcaptain]

damn those brick is strong

[Glove]

na, the best way to secure your wheels is to slam the car to half an inch off the ground,

only way to jack it up is to drive it on bricks first

[G-spec]

damn such nice cars and house, shame.

this is why i had a tilt sensor added to my compustar, i think that's a pretty good setup, soon as anyone lifts the car 1 inch, alarm goes loco

[TRDood]

I doubt the owners are even in the house. They should have surveillance cameras though.

yeah if they got that kinda of a ballin house you'd think they would have surveillance cams. but yeah what G-Spec said, add on a tilt sensor really helps

[jpark]

lol i like how the photos are professionaly shot

[hk20000]

I like how the cinder blocks are all the same type and laid exactly the same way.

I call BS it's more a viral thing than anything.

[!Yaminashi]

Damn those picture is nice

[dark0821]

damn.. what a BAWS... soo all 3 of them were rockin adv.1 wheels i assume then?

[spyker]

Why didn't the person who owns the cars just park them inside the garage.

[baggdis300]

airbags FTMFW

theres no way in hell they gonna be able to jack up the car when the wheel is 2" into the wheel well, and every jack point has less than a inch clearance

same goes with tow trucks :D

[Jgresch]

Actually I call BS as well....

Theres no way they were parked all in different spots, with perfect backgrounds, when garages were available(possibly).

[AVS_Racing]

Meh ADV1 wheels are shitty shit any anyways aren't they just rebrands of mht and niche that crap?

[TOPEC]

yep, probably a stunt by adv 1 to get attention.

[Kim Jong Un]

ADV1...... brick wheels?

[FRStan]

ADV1...... brick wheels?

ADV1... invisible wheels

Where to cop? Need that shit ASAP.

[TouringTeg]

I'll sell you some invisible wheels :D

[Kim Jong Un]

Specs? Price?

third pic under gutter on the corner there is a light and what looks to be a surveillance camera.

Wow didn't even notice that

[marc0lishuz]

And if you look closer at this pic, you'll see a black rag protecting the brake rotor from the brick on the passenger-front side.

AND the bricks are at the perfect jack points on the Merc!

^ maybe...i can't tell even if i zoom in

but ya, this job looks too clean...somethin fishy here for sure.
on a side now, these is sick cars!

Check out the neatly stacked lug nuts by the pillar!

Check out the neatly stacked lug nuts by the pillar!I don't know about the jacking points.. but the lug nuts could very well have been moved by the photographer if they were just lying around.

[GDChoi]

If they were all rockin ADV.1 wheels I bet Advan 1 owner took their information when submitting client form, went to their house and stole the wheels back for REsale :troll:

[marc0lishuz]

I don't know about the jacking points.. but the lug nuts could very well have been moved by the photographer if they were just lying around.

You wouldn't disturb a "crime scene" before photographing it for evidence.

[cococly]

Yea, I don't think a theft would be so careful about not to damage the brakes while stealing someone's properties.

[d1]

You cereal? Crime scene? Evidence? This isn't CSI.

[marc0lishuz]

I'm sorry, when was theft stop being considered a crime?

[yadoh]

look at the front passenger rotor, it's floating above the brick

[-EuroRSN-]

^ i was gonna say something looks odd in that area... Almost photoshopped maybe

[Jgresch]

^ weight is distributed to the other three because of the driveway slope.

[bcrdukes]

Despite the ads in itself, wheel locks have been known to be a preventative measure when it comes to wheel theft. If thieves really wanted your wheels, I'm certain they'd take them regardless.

Unless of course, you have a wheel boot handy.

[d1]

I'm sorry, when was theft stop being considered a crime?

All I'm saying is, moving shit around isn't gonna change anything. The police aren't going to look through bushes for evidence or get fingerprints off the lugnuts.

[pk_volt]

As mentioned, sounds much more like a marketing stunt.

[monkeywrench]

As mentioned, sounds much more like a marketing stunt.

Exactly this.

[Backy_Boy]

^ weight is distributed to the other three because of the driveway slope.

^ its something called SUSPENSION, unless it was an f1 car, i dont think a range would have stiff enough suspension for only 3 of the wheels to be like that.

[1exotic]

you guys might be right, I donno.
won't be that hard to photshop the jacks out and put some bricks in, kinda like the opposite of what I did:
or they might be on bricks actually..... whatever.

[silva95teg]

^^ are those the invisible wheels that are for sale?

[silva95teg]

Also don't those trucks drop to the ground when you park? Maybe that explains how it is possible for the front rotor to be barely touching. The bricks most likely came from the guys property if it is real, maybe the easiest ones to grab.

[Si]

AND the bricks are at the perfect jack points on the Merc!

if I were gonna lower a car so as to be able to get my jack out from underneath, i'd definitely want to use the jacking points...................

[Jgresch]

^ its something called SUSPENSION, unless it was an f1 car, i dont think a range would have stiff enough suspension for only 3 of the wheels to be like that.

depends on the slope of the driveway..... doesnt that range rover have the adjustable suspension as well? Maybe it was on the lowest setting? Less travel in strut....

I knwo what suspension is lol it was just an idea brah

[G-spec]

i dont put anything past the adv1 owner jordan....
damn if you guys knew the full story on them, pretty interestingly shady stuff, it's all over the internet, the exotic forums and others as well.... everything is well documented..

and also the truth on the quality adv 1 wheels, lol, where to begin, just google adv1 and niche wheels together you'll crack up.

niche wheels are those cheap ebay $600 per set wheels, when you see some pictures members posted online of the inside of adv1's warehouse, you see a bunch of niche boxes, and some of the wheel designs are identical... anyway a lot of info available out there if yall are interested in posting, ive already done it here in another post

[CanadaGoose]

Locking lug nuts are only there for your own peace of mind, that's all. Any thief can defeat them with 2 simple tools anyone can buy from any hardware store, probably even walmart. It's like leaving a locked gym locker OUTSIDE a building and expecting it to not get robbed since it has a padlock on it....

If the pics look suspicious because the job is 'too clean' - the theft victim probably repositioned their vehicles using their own paving stones - no point leaving it half assed supported, because no thief is going to give two shits if it's stable or not when they drop it, they just want their jack back - so they just went through the process of stabilizing each vehicle (and adding the rag to protect the rotors) while they figure out what to do next

[buddha1]

lol "get a free air guitar with every purchase of 4 invisible wheels" :fullofwin:
