nice find!

 

i like how they say only 2 wheels for sale but in one of the pictures you can clearly see there is 3 wheels and maybe even 4 if the pictures were taken a little further away. who knows... but im surprised the owner of the gtr didnt get wheel locks when he purchased the car... maybe he paid to much for the gtr to buy wheel locks..

 

those are probably his rims

 

HAHAHAH best reply.... EVER!

 

sooo, this happened in Long Island, so doubt those are the wheels here on CL.

and yeah, the brakes would easily get 4X as much as the wheels, so I cant believe they didnt grab those while they had the wheels off, idiots.

 

****, my first "mod" for my wrx was a set of wheel locks. and that was for my crappy 16" wheels with re92's.

 

this makes baby jesus cry

 

Haha, exact same story for me too!

 

same for me but mine were for my stocker 17's with the re92's

 

1 - Wheel Locks are a good deterrent, but a thief that knows what they are doing can get around wheel locks. How do you think wheel shops are able to get wheels off when the owner has lost the key to their wheel locks.

2 - There are a few reasons for not getting to the brakes. The first is they may have just run out of time. A lot of thieves will get what they want as quickly as possible and bolt or they are interrupted by someone coming along so they will leave quickly.

Another reason may be they didn't realize what the brakes or worth or decided they were too much of a hassle to get so they ignored them and just stole the wheels instead.

whats the big deal? its a nissan...

i would put money on it that the thief is a typical 350z ricer wanting some stock gtr wheels.

 

Check out mah new wheels... oh wai..

 

1. Why are you using the grin-smile emoticon in the subject?

2. I can't believe that the owner of that car was using the most standard cheapy lug nuts that you get for free at Americas tire co!

3. Someone asked why he's parked in public... Why not? It's not a Bugatti or anything, it's still just a Nissan which isn't even as expensive as a Porsche turbo. People who aren't into cars don't even know what a GTR is, I bet they wouldn't even give it a second glace.


I really, REALLY wish I had one. In all honesty though, if I had a choice of getting a free GTR of any year/body style, and if the rules said that I could never sell it, I'd have to keep it, I wouldn't get the new GTR... I'd get a GTR R34 VSpec II in WR Blue with anthricite wheels (the stock thin spoked 19" wheels that come with the car). That truly is my ideal car that I'd use for everything. As much as I love Porsche, I'd much rather have the R34 then a Porsche turbo... *sigh* Too bad it wont ever happen!




I love the boxiness of it, it's huge fender blisters, its beautifully simple headlights... It's just a friggin masterpiece. I love the new one and all, but the R34 has a special place in my heart and always will.

 

straight JDM, slammed to the grill.
