{WHEELS STOLEN} Just walked outside, my tahoe is on cinder blocks

[Denton]

#*($%(*$#&%*$&%*$(*%*($&(%*&#$!!!!!

That is how I feel right now. Going to file it on insurance, will cost me $500.

Where should I go to get the 20" factory wheels replaced? Ill need a tire/wheel combo.

Going forward, what can I do preventative wise to prevent future thefts? (outside of parking in my garage each night)

that sucks. Some people are such douchbags!!! Got any pics of how they left it? Go to the dealer and get them to write you an estimate for the factroy 20's and then decide if that's really the route you want to take and perhaps get some sick aftermarket 20's!!!

 

[Denton]

What wheels should I put back on there? (20" is the size I want to go back with)

 

[BigRed76]

How about these?? They would look SICK against the white truck!! and you don't have to worry about keeping them spotless and road salt, etc....

Dang bro, that sucks. I live about an hour away and plan on getting 20's/22's in the spring and will get an alarm system first(shock sensors, kill switch etc) and park in the garage. Good luck with finding replacement wheels.

Damn that sucks! To prevent it from happening again, GM makes a wheel theft alarm kit for our trucks, I would definitely look into it.

Those are tiny blocks its resting on. That sucks.

Now that sucks Steve!!
Those wheels are hot in DFW, the guy I sold my stock 20s to got snagged for his infront of his house, while his neighbor (a cop) got the same wheels stolen fron his Avalanche the same night. The next day they both saw the block aftermath.

Now why doesn't GM put these on your car already? They know you/your insurance is going to have to buy wheels again

 

[Denton]

Dammit, I cant reply to a PM because I dont have 10 posts!

From GMAccessoriesZone.com, it is $150. Here is the part number for the kit that covers all 4 wheels.

That sucks. For some reason the OEM 20's are big in Texas. My friends dad had his stolen 3 times. The third time he walked out side while they where doing it.

 

[stevek]

If the thieves see wheel locks, they'll honestly just walk another 100 yards and steal another set of wheels. They won't bother having to attempt to get them off. Think about it, wheels are an easy steal if all you have to do is take off 6 bolts. 5 bolts and a lock will do wonders. I also have been thinking of getting my phone number and VIN laser etched into the inside of the wheel somewhere.

thieves suck

karma works in funny ways.

 

[Denton]

Dang that sucks, I am in Denton too. A friend of mine had the wheel stolen from his 2010 Sierra and Progressive only gave him $1200 for his factory 20's

 

[puckhead]

Damn, sorry to hear bud. Invest in a good alarm system with a tilt sensor. That really sucks
