Tires on the wheels were Nitto NT555 Extreme 245/40 and 285/35. Just like I said, the work wheel logos are slightly chipped away on the faces and you can definitely see the caked up brake dust stains on the rivets. It says hes in North Hollywood and the post was made close to Chatsworth. NoHo is only 20 min away and Chatsworth is 5 min away. I need a link to the for sale post he made on facebook though so I can inquire and act like I am going to buy them so I can at least check them out in person and confirm theyre mine before I forward it to the police.
Thank you so much for this lead, we'll see how it goes...keep your fingers crossed guys!

How sketchy does this look...? Many things to notice here:
1) Sale says Work Equipt wheels
-- Theyre Work S1s
2) The picture shows many tells these could be my wheels
-- The Work logo on the face is chipped away on the edges, just as I had described.
-- There is a whole lot of rubber showing the tire sizes are pretty beefy (my specs were 18x8.5 18x9.5 with 245/40 285/35 Nitto NT555 Extreme tires. If you know your fitments, those are big tire specs for such small wheels, and the photo shows just that)
-- You can make out some of the orange stains and caked brake dust around the rivets.
-- You can almost make out the letters "Ex" from Extreme, and the tread pattern looks VERY similar to the 555 pattern.
Lastly, the picture was taken and posted "near Chatsworth". Chatsworth is literally 5 minutes away from my house. According to the author's (Eduardo) personal page, he is located in North Hollywood, which is only 20 minutes away.
