Angry someone stole my stock wheels...

Don’t know how to start it, but I’m pissed as hell… Got my stock wrx wheels/tires stolen last night from one of those carport storage boxes. The thing that annoys me the most is WHY? What is the resale value on those? $300? What’s a point? If I thought anyone would see a value in them, I would have stored them somewhere else… Anyway, thought this would be good place to vent a little… And if anyone sees cheap OEM suburu wheels for sale in Santa Clara, they could be mine! I wish there would be anyway of tracing wheels to a car though… So frustrating…

sorry to hear that... I've had afermarket wheels stolen off my car before :-/ sucks

If you still want a set of stockers, when your insurance reimburses you I can sell you mine. You'll undoubtedly make money from this... nothing illegal about it. At least you get something for your troubles, eh? Lemme know.

I'm sorry to hear this happened to you but $300 is a actually quite a bit of easy money.

hmmm... I'm not so sure about making money on this - I have a $500 deductible on my insurance. And they were not exactly stolen off the car, so I don’t know if it’s even covered. But it sounds like it’s definitely worth making a phone call…

I’ll prob just get a some slipstrims whenever I decide that I “need” a second set of wheels. Basically, now I don’t have any excuse not to

If you have renters/homeowners insurance, they may cover it. When my buddy had his car broken into, his homeowners policy covered the stuff that was stolen. Good luck!

Look on the bright side...you can probably claim like $500 each on your stock wheels since the subaru price for them is so expensive...assuming you have a $500 deducable for ur insurance you will get around $1500 back. That can easily get you a set of Rotas with tires from subydude.com Or you can find a set of replacement stockers for around $300 and have about $1200 to play with.

just a suggestion.

That's exactly what I am talking about. You get compensated by insurance for OEM replacement value, not 2nd hand market value. Make your call and lemme know.
