that really sucks man. im very sorry to hear that. a few months ago someone stole a set of stock 18's off my buddy's SS/SC. I never thought anyone would steal stock rims.

OEM wheels are usually more expensive than aftermarket wheels. he's better off telling the truth. he could get paid more.

Why couldn't you just leave the car there and wait for a couple wheels so you could SAFELY pull it onto the tow truck?
