CASH REWARD stolen authentic Saleen rims

Four Oaks NC / eastern NC area
my rims were stolen from my car under my carport between sunday night and this afternoon. i cant believe i didnt notice this till now. they are real saleen rims with the saleen lettering cast into the rim by the valve stem. the tires are MT 305/35/18 DR's on the rear and 265/35/18 nexen N3000's on the front.

nothing other than the raised lettering to set them apart. one of the fronts has some LIGHT curb rash on it but thats about it other than the tires.

3 of the center caps are chrome and one is silver also

the sheriff said 8 other cars were broken into in my area in the past 48 hours


anyone who finds them and lets me know where the POS that stole them is at will get a cash reward!!!!

Man, I'm very sorry that this happened to you. I hope that you find your wheels. It's a shame that we work hard for what we have and someone takes it from us. I've had things stolen from me but not wheels. Was there any other damage done to your car? I wish I could help you out here. I know your angry and want to put a beat down on them. I would be to. Good luck to you. Pearl02.

That's just crap.

Good luck on the insurance. I've had it happen to me as well. Bastards need to be shot. In Texas, we can get away with it if we catch them in the act.

funny thing was they left a ton of tools, my new C4 transmission, a new 40 gal air compressor, 2 in dash dvd players in 2 vehicles, and 2 pistols that were in another vehicle.

everything has been secured and this will NOT happen again if i can help it

Holy **** man, that sucks.

I'll keep an eye out for them on CraigsList and an NC/SC board I'm on.

I hope you get them back... but it's good that nothing else is missing.

Bummer, that's not cool at all. Definitely keep an eye out on Craigslist just in case they "pop up" on there...thieves suck!

Best of luck on finding your parts. Sucks that it has to happen but there will always be someone that doesn't think twice about stealing from others.

Locking logs, unsightly nessecities, I'm sorry for your loss though (and yes I know even lockers don't stop it, but they do make more noise when being forced off)

Sorry to hear this man. This is why I decided to make all 20 of my lug nuts lockers. I know with the old style, you could easily (albeit with much noise) take off the lug with a 12pt socket, but the ones americanmuscle sells would require a large hex key and pipe, or some other contraption. Either way, the heist would have to be premeditated and well thought out, else they wouldn't have a way of getting those lugs to move. I'm hoping these serve as a deterrent because I don't own a gun, and if ever did shoot someone for touching my property here in NY or MA, I'd be in jail forever.

do your own police work

sorry also , hit the local tire shops & pawn , dont ask just walk in like a customer , wheel locks are this only answer , there tough to remove got a buddy who uses 2 sets , pain in the a%% but when they see them they move on....if you see them dont tip your hand just walk outside & dial 911 some of the pawn shop guys are in on the swag deals so dial 911 & wait till the police show up ! good luck I mark my rims in a spot only I can spot I use a small punch ...........
