They got me, stolen wheels

Just woke up to my car on rocks, and all 4 wheels gone, wheel locks and all.
Located in morrow, Georgia. If anyone in the area sees some wheels come up for sale or hears a word. Please contact me. One of the wheels have a minor curb rash in the back. Factory solid 5 spoke in silver, not the split 5 spoke.

Phone is acting up will only let me post 1 picture.

Wow, that sucks. Sorry to hear this. I guess the silver lining is now you can get a nice set of aftermarket wheels?

Check your local scrap yard. Meth-heads will scrap the whole set for ten bucks. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that man.

I put these on my C7.

Hopefully it'll be a deterrent to the fast & dirty guys so they'll move on elsewhere. I know they won't stop a determined thief.

Also I'd be looking on eBay (search by zip) and craigslist every day, usually people that do this, aren't the brightest bulbs. Good luck man.

That may be true but those wheels will sell easy on the streets and quick. They are very popular. I'm sorry about your loss.

I hate it when someone steals your tires and wheels of your "Canaro". But I see you live in hotlanta! Hell they let football players with stolen cars and guns off, you gotta expect stuff like that. It's very sad though, I hope you catch the sorry piece of crap. Post a pic of the wheel and I will keep an eye out on macon area craigslist and let you know.

Sorry that sucks, bunch of bastards. Thank god I have a garage the car stays in, and have the Gorilla locks on my wheels, like someone else said nothing will stop a determine thief. just be glad you don't live in CA, the entire car would have been gone.

OP said he had Wheel Locks - pretty easy to defeat if you are stealing a lot of cars

You need the ones that have a sleeve so they can't drive a 12 socket them.
