Thx for being a class act about it!

Coincidences do happen, I was hoping to be wrong and I got my wish. BTW your 460 looks great!

 

Thanks Tee, I kinda like the way it looks myself.

 

Thanks madlad. Which Butler? We used to have a big meet at the one in Alpharetta.

 

Austell, GA

 

wow... crazy coincidence
by any chance was that rim that was on display have the tire already mounted on it???

 

No, A tire was not mounted on the rim, it was on the display shelf. I watched the entire process, including them opening the boxes. The serial numbers of the tires and rims are on the invoice, so they can be compared against the theft victim's papers

 

good thing you got all that info
just a "wow...crazy coincidence" kinda thing though...

 

Nice wheels on both cars (stolen and purchased). Anyway, I don't believe in coincidences at all. I'm not calling you a thief or a liar, because you have your receipt posted. For real, 'Cmon Son'!!! The same rimes (size and color), the same tires (size and brand), and the same car in the same state within the week?! Something is not right in Denmark Son!!

Professional thieves that have access to lock keys and have the means and equipment to get in, perform the job, and get out?! That means for these thieves, they've spent money to make money. They also have to have a venue to move these wheels quick as well. Smells fishy to me. I'll tell you this 'IF ANYONE' in ATL comes up with my wheels (the ONLY GS [Lexus period] with them. They will be speaking into the mic while they're putting them back on my car...and I'm not talking about a microphone either. All the best with your wheels, keep your alarms on 'high' sensitivity guys.

 

WOW! This is seriously a crazy coincidence. The odds of that are just wild to me and the date of the posts being so close together. It would be hard for me to believe that someone who just stole rims would be foolish enough to post pics of it, but then again some people do dumb ***** all the time.

With these being brand new wheels and new tires along with a receipt and a vouch from a Butler rep, looks like all that can be said now is congrats and the wheels look nice. I hope STE's insurance comes through so he can get some new wheels and fix whatever they broke.

Madlad, I do give you props for answering the questions and it sounds like you just walked into a Tyson punch without knowing what Ste was going through, but I think all of us were doin some Law and Order type ***** trying to help out Ste with this one. Unless Butler did you wrong somehow, your case seems legit to me based on this.

Now you need to make sure you keep your head on a swivel around here in ATL..they got STE, they can get you too. I've decided against nice 22s and settling for the 19" OEM upgrade to either the touring or hybrid wheel for mine..cant have nothin nice around here..FAIL

 

everything aside cant believe its same color cars,,,
anyways, car looks great and keep it movin,,,

 

[...] They didn't make only one Lexus in that color and they certaintly didn't make just one set of the rims or tires, as evidenced by the fact that Ste got identical replacements within a week. What's the probability of two persons wearing the same Nike Jordans in the same city and one pair got stolen? Did the second person steal them from the first? Atlanta is no different than any other city...they have thieves. The probability of having tires stolen in an unsecured parking garage is much greater than one kept in a locked garage. I really hope this puts and end to all of you who still doubt my honesty and integrity and that of Butler Tires, given the evidence I provided. Enough is enough already...get a life!

 

As a final note to this thread, google Butler Tire and check out their website. My car's picture is posted in their gallery. This was done right after the install.

 

That wheel is actually very common I have the Asanti version in a Elt model that is very similar. As long as my man has a reciept he is simply being accomodating to this forum by explaining himself over and over again more so than I would have! Hey bro I wish someone would steal my $8000 Asantis ( A****ies) Im not impressed with their finishes and their customer service is garbage trust me! Consider your bad luck a blessing in disguise and go with a better wheel Vossen, Work, SSR, Iforged, D2forged, trafficstar, etc. You can get a better deal through a Club Lexus vendor! Just get your purchase insured. Viper, and compustar alarms make modules that can hook to your Iphone and certain Android phones also that will work anywhere you have cell service! I also got video surveillance, pager, pitbulls, and pistols lol!!! Jack me at your own risk!

 

[...] Anyone that knows me knows I love to see a Lex done right, hence the comment 'nice wheels to both stolen and purchased cars'. If I were in your shoes or someone else’s (no pun intended) I would be a bit self-conscience too considering the situation but then again if I posted a receipt from the people I got the rims from, I wouldn't care. Maybe that's the NY in me...I don't think so. You make a good point about the Jordans except Jordans don't come with a wide variety of shoe laces to chose from when purchased, but I get your point. Since I don't believe in coincidences, what you want to say I'm hating; please. Even you have to see this is an EXTREME coincidence for those that believe in them.

Life is good thanks for the suggestion, which is why I just got back on the forum after a little more than a year or two. All the best with your wheels and if you see me don't hesitate to honk. I am the only Black Cherry GS430 with my wheels in ATL.
