stolen wheels

[jrpembe]

got home from work today to discover someone had stolen two of my CX-7 wheels (and rims) from my garage (I have great neighbors who leave the door open from time to time). Anyone got a guess how much a pair of Bridgestone Turanza's and alum. rims will cost to replace? (235/60R18).

Fortunately I have my winter tires and steel rims on right now. I moved the other two into the house.

File a police report?

[autoxes]

Your home owners insurance will cover goods stolen from your house

[CX-7owner]

Get new tires not those disgusting Turanza's.

going with aftermarket wheels and tires will be way cheaper than replacing the factory wheels from the dealer

[AlbanianDude]

Aftermarket all the way brotha much cheaper stock rims you will end up paying 450-600 a piece

he doesn't have to pay shit with insurance
and aftermarket wheels that are cheaper usually means they are crappier... heavy and lug centric

The CX-7's wheel's are not light by any means, they're kinda heavy for 18 inch wheels, anyway you can get wheels that are lighter around that price range.

No shit genius we know that but we were saying why get another set of stocks

Insurance usually has a DEDUCTABLE....(chair)

That's not necessarily true. There are plenty of cheaper aftermarket rims that are hub centric and definitely not crappy. Those can go for 300 and that's better than paying 500 for stock OEM wheels.

Factory wheels they charge you out the ass for "retail" prices. Why pay that when he can just buy a BETTER set of wheels from tirerack/discounttiredirect/wheelfire etc., etc.

Hell maybe even one of his friends has a hook. I have 2 so I can get better wheels without having to pay "retail"



and like Killer said, insurance usually has a deductible that you pay upfront and they cover the rest. So it's best to see what his deductible is.....because if his deductible is more than the wheels/tires cost he's just going to end up paying out his own pocket, so there really wouldn't be any point in filing a claim :\

[CX-7owner]

My insurance doesn't have a deductible anymore, best thing ever.

and what does he do with the other 2 wheels he has? :rolleyes:

[AWmustang]

Put them back in the garage and leave the door open???

EBAY!!

sell them and make part of his deductible back.

I am agreeing with everyone about the aftermarket wheels. Depending on your deductible file a claim and see what you can get. I got my 20" TSW Vortex's with tires (Goodyears) for $350 each. As a side note... they are only 3-6 lbs heavier than the stock 18's. That was one of the reasons I got them. The OEM wheels are heavy as all hell.

If that is the case - you are paying too much for insurance. No ands, ifs, or buts; that is how insurance works.

End of story.(poke)

We priced it, the difference in cost was not huge, good driver, multiple cars, etc.. We're talking about 10 dollars a month over the $500 dollar deductible every policy period to not have a deductible?
I'll take the policy without an annoying extra $500 to pay if we have any thing come up, it's already come in effect when I wrecked the S40, and no policy increase after that.

Yes but your car insurance will most likely not cover these because they weren't on your car. You'll need to submit it to your homeowners or renters insurance.

We have renters insurance too, with the same results...

I find this VERY hard to believe. Why would an insurance company do such a thing?

Some insurance companies now have that "disappearing" deductible where if you don't have an accident or claim for a year it goes down periodically until it is finally nothing. That's the only way I could see not having a deductible unless you were paying out the ying yang for insurance.

Oh, well why didn't you say so!

I get it now - instead of paying a $500 deductible only if you were to have a claim, you are choosing to pay an extra $480 every 4 years even if you don't! (uhm)(rofl)

(lol2)

and what does he do with the other 2 wheels he has? :rolleyes:


Assuming his CX-7 is FWD he can do any number of things...... if he's every planning to mod the car and perhaps drag race it....... he can use those on the front wheels so he doesn't have to use his new rims and tires ;)


otherwise he could sell them on ebay..... I'm pretty sure people would still buy 2 cx-7 wheels, lol.....

or he should put a gps tracker on them...... open the garage, leave them in there and hope the dude comes back to steal them again....... then track him down and beat the crud out of him (lol2) or maybe that's just something I would do.

[07LiquidCX7]

LOL the op has only posted the original... no updates? Inquiring minds want to know.

If you are looking for wheels cheap, I'll sell the stock wheels off my wife's for $300 + ship for all 4. They have a little more than 3000 miles on them, no blems. That way you could pocket the extra $$$ that the insurance gives you.

[erhayes]

+1 for 07Liquidcx7s plan.

[Durfdaddy]

if you get something other than stock make sure your tire pressure sensor will work with the wheels you get.

LOL!
