S2000 Forums -> Wheels stolen from Fit

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

yeah someone on these forums about a year ago posted a thread about their wheels getting stolen. i'm sure it's happened to at least several other people as well. sucks...=( but it happens to any car with wheels somebody may want.

 

yikes omg that's near me

sorry to hear about that happening bro

i'm kinda scared now too cuz i'm rollin on my OEMs with the Honda wheel locks right now

That is sooo stupid I would search craigs list and see if you can find them.

 

yup stole the car and the wheels

 

sorry to hear that. hope you have some success with tracking them down

 

Someone stole mine a little over a week ago . Was parked at my buddies while we went on vacation. We called his parents when we had service and they sprung it on me. So lame.

Oh I also had muteki locking lugs. Tow truck guy said it was sitting on blocks from the nieghbors garden and was about 1 inch off the ground.

 

that blows. stock 15"s...really??? who is heartless enough to to do that to a fit?

i heard somewhere that enkei makes them? so maybe they're more valuable than we know...

 

That sucks, big time!


What about putting different wheel locks? (ie. 1 from Honda, 1 from Acura, 1 from the brands they sell at auto parts stores, etc., etc)


I wonder if those thieves will have all the universal locks.

Is there really anyway to prevent this is if they are determined to steal your rims?

 

Unfortunately, no. Locking lugnuts just slows them down for a second or two.

 

Thats why I wont get expensive lugs either..sucks you cant get nice things, because your scared of theft.

 

Exactly. You can't leave nice things unattended these days. Girlfriends included.

 

wheel locks are nothing to somebody who knows what theyre doin. easy to get off, all they do is make the owner feel a little safer and keep the newbie thieves away. you can get good money for new tires. get good money for the rims as well ;[

 

Those thieves deserve a present.

 

you dont need a key for the locks to get them off, you can get em off quite easily.

 

ugh it's bothering me just thinking about it.

Carson: whenever your car gets back up to speed let me know if you wanna do a meet
i only know 1 other Fit in my general area but he's a workaholic
i'm on s2ki too ^.^

there is a fancy socket that slips over the lug and is able to take any lug off. my mechanic showed me one time when i lost my lock for my lugs on my integra.

 

the best theft deterrent is Rotas. they are harder to re-sell than OEM 15" wheels.

 

unless you have rota slips ^.^
