Sorry to hear about this.

Did you have any sort of lock nuts on your wheels?

Darias

SeenSense

Well at least the placed the car down nicely without damaging anything.

I guess karma bites you in the *** when you park in a crosswalk.

Just be glad they didn't gut your entire car or just steal the whole thing. Wheels are much easier to replace than an entire car. Good luck. Hope u get some resolution.

Know what really blows about all this....now u can't drink Pepsi anymore cause it will just remind you of what happened there.

By the way.... Ur Before/After photos are labeled backwards.

I don't he deserves his wheels ganked...but he is all up in the crosswalk

I bet the people that stole the wheels will get hit by a car jaywalking....well at least that would be fair.

Damaged Goods

He's car does stick out more just for parking it over the cross walk. Maybe they did it just for that reason, because who really steals messed up rims (only) in the first place, and not take or jack up anything else? Pretty gutsy to steal the rims right outside of his room.

Didn't your car come with a factory alarm system with tilt?

RICO_

I think your neighbors jacked those wheels. How do they know u didn't take them off yourself to work on them or paint them? Hmmm.

RICO_

No they don't.

highneo

that sucks. i'll let you know if I hear anything in philly and wheels for sale.

Go through insurance? - I certainly hope you had full coverage on a 1 out of 1000 limited edition collectors car.

They did you a favor though, those wheels looked horrible.

K5^

In about ten years, GP's will become rare similar to how MF10's are now, and people will look back and ask why you did that to those GP's.

MiX

confused is your before and after swapped?

RICO_

Already did man me tell the. Why for you attention pay no?

boostedredeg

the mugen rr comes with black gp's. what's the deal?

you know like they say, "the only people who hate on you, are the ones who can't afford what you have."

2008fijibluesi

Yeah...THAT'S why people hate on Rotas.

Is that car a Mugen RR? No

Did that car have shoddily powder coated wheels that are touched up by spray paint? Yes

Is that car a limited edition vehicle? Yes

Did he devalue the wheels and car by doing so? Yes

And I could have easily purchased one, so certainly not that reason.

DC4Danny

I dont see how you can tell the rims had a shoddily powder coated job on them with a picture trust me the quality was very good, I would know since I work at a body shop and have been painting cars for over 6 years.The alone reason I powder coated the wheels was because 2 of rims were damaged due to a hit and run ,the insurance company alone wanted to give me recon rims so I just sent them out to be powdercoated make it easier. After the rims where powdercoated I avoid an accient that cause me to hit the sidewalk so since I work in a bodyshop I had the guy who pinstripes cars run a black stripe of urethane paint along the rims you couldnt even notice.......

To me this car being a limited edition car doesnt mean I going to save it and not drive it hide it somewhere so that maybe one day it would have a high value. I bought the car to drive it everyday enjoy my money worth and if at the end of the day the car is messed up well just buy another a car and start over cars are a bad investment anyway. Am not saying that am going to mess up the car I try to keep it in good shape. I have left the car pretty much alone the painted lights in the front and back were spares that I had and the tint windows are easy to come off. I dont plan to make money off this car I just wanted to drive it and enjoy it....

DC4Danny

Yes I have full coverage, and we all have are different taste to me the rims look nice in black

DC4Danny

Yea hate to park there but my neighbors keep stealing my parking spot the alone other place is to park next to the tacony creek park which has no lights easier for someone to steal more things I dont have a garge to store the car...

2008fijibluesi

Yea I was only kidding man. I don't wish anything be stolen from a fellow Honda fan.

As has been said, those wheels shouldn't be too easy for the thief to get rid of. They are pretty rare, especially powdered coated, so I hope they turn up for you. I'll keep a look/ear out for them.
