This was the first thing I noticed. No thief will take the time to use wood blocks and to place them in the correct location when stealing wheels.

Well it is stamped with "T1C1.com" which according to Google translator is a Arabic language site. I would love to look for the back story on this pic but the registration form does not translate.

Come on Rashoodz and come clean on this one.

It says from Saudi Arabia, but I doubt it.

Most Arabic forums are full of lies, they just make things up without any source lol.

Looks like it was in Miami. D.Jobin is the winner.

"That's actually not wood. They're extra pavers I had sitting in the front of my house. So if was someone I know, that's really f'd up!! God forbid they crack. They aren't covered on my car insurance policy..."

You are a clown for always assuming in every thread. He had some nice wheels on the car.



It's not like he parked his car in the ghetto. That is a nice area. Maybe you should get some Volks or BBS.
