My rims are gone :(
Happened to Blackenedwing's shinka a few years back: https://www.rx8club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157385
Damn thieves, hope they get what they deserve! Sorry for what happened to your car.
I apologize for even posting this, because it's not mine but what I found in an online forum months back.





Indeed. But you gotta understand for many of us living in NYC - or around - having a garage is more of a luxury than anything else. And paying a monthly fee for a parking garage that is the same amount as your car payment - or more - is not really fun. And yes, parking in NYC is THAT expensive

wow...that really sucks
Sucks even more when (like the pictures above) the theives put the car on uneven blocks (you would think they would at least have the decency to put the car on SQUARE blocks)...not only are your wheels stolen but now there's a chance of other damages
btw; raises the question to those that have lock lugs...
which ones do you guys suggest using? I was looking to get some new lugs pretty soon...

Insurance towed it today. Sounds like they'll cover it. I had Ray's rims purchased from this site by the previous owner. Had also just bought brand new yoko summer tires. I have a receipt so I should get those paid for. I'm unsure about the rims though.
Sorry to hear it, same thing happened to my Shinka a couple of years ago. Brand new rims/tires stolen despite two different types of wheel locks. I woke up to head to a car meet and the car was up on stacked rocks from my neighbors garden. They did thousands of dollars of body damage see-sawing the car to crank the wheels off. My best recommendation is to get the deductible lowered for comprehensive theft/acts of god etc. My wife's RX-8 just got keyed to **** last month and it only cost me $50 to get it resprayed. Kind of sad considering that I live in a really nice neighborhood, but all the section 8 housing is across a field from my house.
