Sorry to hear about that bro...

but the trick is to do with those special lug nuts is to get a wrench, hammer, a metal pole with a hole through it and a bolt that is one size smaller. Push that bolt in hammer it use the wrench with the metal pole and keep pulling it. till it opens or cracks the bolt. It will damage the rim a little bit, but you'll get the rim out.

I've seen my friends done it cause they lose their keys for the bolts.

Sorry to hear about this Jay. Feels horrible when losers intentionally steal your hard-earned property. I'll keep an eye out on the Westside/K-Town/Downtown area.

If you guys do happen to "spot" a profile match. Don't approach. Just shadow the car, get the make, model, and plate, and get on the phone with 911 until you can get them pulled over with a marked police car. Don't go vigilante, it may even be the wrong person.

Jay can u post detailed, up-close pics of the wheel/tire setup? More info on the specs of the wheels and tire combo will help us out.

oh my, I'm just hearing about this now.... I can't believe you got your wheels jacked... I've been asking to buy them from you for how many years now??? I will definitely let you know as soon as I see those wheels.... I've never seen anyone w/ them before so they'll be easy to spot... I could recognize those wheels anywhere, they were my favorite!
