g356gear sedan Posted: Nov 30 2003, 04:33 PM


Over the last couple of nights there was a break-in at our condo at 89 ave and 100st. Stolen were a set of

SSR GT-3 Forged 3 piece rims, silver with polished lip

Front 18" X 8.5" +37 offset, Potenza S-03 Pole Position 245/40/zr18 tires
Rear 18" X 9.5" +55 offset, Potenza S-03 Pole position 275/35/zr18 tires

If everybody could keep an eye out for these rims I would appreciate it. There are only 2 sets in the city, one on a black 300zx tt and mine. They are an offset and bolt pattern that will only fit an Infiniti G35 sedan......nothing else. They can be seen on www.tirerack.com . Thanks. There is a reward for the return of these rims.

Those are :bigpimp: How much are they worth?

The thieves must've had a pretty big truck to drive away with these rims, Hockey equipment, Camping gear... I hope they get found soon!

We hope so too!

I'm not sure exact $$$ but around $3k+ I believe.

Unless they are auctioned off on ebay or moved far away, you should be able to find them - most wheels of that magnitude exist in very small numbers.

Good luck in your search!

Apparently it's a very unique offset.

And like someone previously just mentioned, there aren't that many of them. There are only TWO sets of these RIMS in EDMONTON.... The one set was purchased from Tunerworks so I would imagine the other set was purchased there or online as well. Again not that common of a rim.

Remember for their safe return there is a reward.

I got the rims out of the US. Total cost landed was around $4800. The offset was really unique +37 font, +55 rear. They won't fit the G35 coupe, 350Z or anything that I know of from Nissan. The bolt pattern is a common Nissan one .... 5 X 4.5 but the offsets will make them a real bitch to fit on anything. They may just strip off the rubber, sell those, and leave the rims sitting in a garage somewhere. :guns:

The guys were in my parkade this morning. Car was an 88-89 Acura Legend (black). Got the license plate for the cops...we will see what happens.

Looks like the culprits have been found by the rims/tires owner in his own parkade.

Hopefully this will be resolved quickly w/ the safe return of the rims and tires in their "new" condition!

the cops actually found you're rims?!?! that doesn't happen often around here, they're usually too busy harrassing poor citizens.

sucks to be the thieves, good to be the one recovering the rims

Ya, it was a fluke apparently.....

Rather odd story if you look at the 780tuners thread about these rims.

I know, they found "a link" that may lead them to the rims...

That's why I suggested readin the actual thread on 780.

Still no rims yet......they have had no luck yet in getting any info as to the rims whereabouts. They are still on the market somewhere, we just have to keep the eyes open for them.:banghead:
