I never thought it would happen to me...
I brought it here to help me move some stuff out when school ends...and today I found it raised on cinder blocks. Fortunately, no visible exterior damage other than the emblems, but all four tires and wheels gone. All i could do was stare in shock...

If ANYONE sees any ITR Gunmetal Rims on sale in the Arizona area, on ebay, anything, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. You can email me at gtang@email.arizona.edu. I was sick of this, and now that its happened to me, I'm absolutely disgusted.

 

Damn that sucks, sorry for your loss, but look on the bright side, you still have your car. They did take the rims, but you still the important things.

******* theives

 

That really sucks. But to be honest, I would be happy if that happened to me as long as insurance covered it. You get a lot of $ from it.

These things should never happen but it is the sad reality of the world we live in.

 

so you think they found you from honda-tech? that sucks btw..hope insurance will cover it

 

That sucks, but could actually be a lot worse. The replacement cost from Acura will be very high, enough to pick up Volks or something even better than the stockers. Good luck.

 

I find it odd that they just took the rims. I guess you can be thankful that the car is still intact.

 

Insurance does cover it, thankfully, does anybody have a clue to if they will even give me face value for them.


Who just wants everything back...

Insurance pays for the cost of replacement. When it comes to parts such as wheels, since they aren't aftermarket, replacing them means buying them from Acura. If they try anything less, fight them. In the meantime, you are stuck having to buy steelies or something else just so the car is streetable. Not being a major claim, they will likely settle w/ you quickly.

 

I got over 400 dollars for one stock rim from my insurance. Like they said, get a cash settlement and buy aftermarket wheels.

That's what I was thinking.. If I were you, I would take out the armrest, so you'll always have it. Trust me.

I did this for #009 when I still had her. Bought one off another R owner, and had planned to get a new tag engraved, but never got around to it.

 

Insurance should do you right. My buddy had his stock Si wheels stolen and with the cost of the wheels from the dealer, he was able to pick up a set of 16" SSR Comps instead.

 

damn...that really sucks...but at least you still have the rest of the car
good luck!

 

be happy dude ....you'll get some brand new OEM rims ...+ brand new Potenza's ...i know it sucks now..but insurance will pay for it .and beleive me ..they aint ceap

 

******* theives can rot in hell

 

What school did this happen at bro?
I'll keep an eye out for you, but your rims will more then likely end up on a hatch..Sucks major *** bro. Good luck, and I hope those thieves get thier faces bashed in with a cylinder block.

 

that sucks dude!
i live in tempe and know a few people. i'll keep my eyes and ears open!

Did you have wheel locks on your rims?

 

I would suggest not buying aftermarket wheels for daily driving. They will only attract more attention and increase the chance of another, possibly much worse, incident of theft.

Good point, but when you drive an R you can only make it so much more attractive to thieves (especially if it's PY). Anyway, wheel locks are a simple way to prevent another theft like the one you just experienced. Get 2 different sets. It would require a bit of time to get them off w/out the key, and it seems like the theft you experienced was a quick jack-and-grab job.

 

consider your self on of the lucky ones. Most of them just take the entire car

 

my eyes are very very open. if i see anything ill get you plate #s.

 

sorry for your loss, but at least you have your R still
