My Z06 wheels were stolen this morning!

Heads up fellow owners, someone stole my wheels in front of my gf's apartment this morning! If anyone sees wheels for sale, let me know!

It's bad enough to lose the wheels, I hope they didn't damage your car any.

Sorry man! Get some after market wheels, probably cheaper anyways. I literally can't believe chevy doesn't give wheel locks especially after the first C7's had the same issues. The wife's old kia even came with them. oh well, hope it works out

Damn that's utterly terrible... I hope those crooks are caught somehow someway or at least karma seriously hits them, 4x!

Someone posted your mishap at the other corvette forum and folks there are alerted in case they come across any Z06 wheels on the market.... presuming near Arlngton, VA? Also what wheels were they? Standard, chrome, Spectra, or black?

That really sucks!!! Don't you wish that you were sitting on the front porch when the slime bags started their work. No wait...I doubt that they "work", they just steal.

I think that your girlfriend needs to move in with you...

I hate to see it when this happens, so sorry to hear man. If you need help with a new set of wheels, let me know, I'm willing to throw in a bid discount where I can to help out the cause so we can get that car back up and running. Let me know if I can help out, and good luck finding the jerk who stole your wheels.

At a minimum the lower valance is cracked and that's the only piece of composite that is not replaceable on the entire car, it will need to be repaired in place.

Insurance should cover wheels, tires and bodywork.

I see this is a 3LZ, I have to assume you were too far away to hear the alarm.

Sorry to see that. I'll keep an eye open in my area.

This was one of the main reasons I installed wheel locks as soon as I got my car.

wheel locks don't stop them... I work at a dealership and have about 300 trucks all with wheel locks on them.... they get stolen on a regular basis.

I saw this on LS Nation this morning... such a shame
