I WAS RIPPED OFF LAST NIGHT. THEY STOLE MY 20X 8.5 CHROME WHEELS MOUNTED ON NITTO NEO GEN 22530ZR20 TIRES. IF ANYONE CATCHES ANY THIEFS STEALING YOUR STUFF YOU WORKED HARD TO PAY FOR, WHIP THEIR ASS FOR ME.... SORRY FOR THE BAD LANGUAGE. BUT, IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That sucks, did you have any locking lugs? Every lug on my wheels are locking.

 

I would check your pawn shops and tell your local rim shops because they only fit a couple cars and I don't think any cobalt will be running 20'' just my 2 cents

 

Were they on the car or off in the garage or something? Pics, and where are you in CA?

 

Check Ebay!! Even if the car has locking Lug nuts. If u work at a rim shop or any tire shop they have a special tool to pop them off. Since so many people always lose the lug key.

 

, yeah, a bit and a hammer is what they used to get them off my S-10!

 

oh man i feel for ya sorry to hear about that I hate a thief there is nothing worse I work in construction so you know I have had my fair share of theft my Blazer has been broken in to 3 times and my Burban once cant even add up the number of $$ in tools Ive lost.on a good point though I coght a SOB at a local Target a few years ago around Thanksgiving he tried too purse snatch a Lady in the parking lot I tackled him from behind and pretty much had my way with him ( im 6' 240lbs) he was 5'-10"maybe 150lbs after I got him on the the ground I had my wife who was already on the phone with the PD get me a few commercial grade Zip ties( there 3' long and have like a 800 pound tinsel strength.So I tied him up and went to check on the lady and he stabbed her in the neck and cut all the reflexor tendons(found this out in the courtroom) in one of her hands(oh ya by the way the little turd had a knife I was able to gently remove from his hand the judge gave him 2 Felony counts one for stabbing her and 2 for coming at me with the knife. Of course the news blew it all out of proportion and had me on the local new for 2 weeks and then the red cross gave me a good citizen award and a bunch of award certificates from the mayor and congress the police chef... the list goes on Im great full for all the awards and my 2 minutes of fame but all in all just glade i was in the right place at the right time and yes I would do it again in a heart beat

 

Man, that blows!

That's why I will never again upgrade OEM parts. I've never had anything expensive on or in my car that was not stolen within a year. It's damn frustrating.

 

This is what my set looks like. They set so deep into the wheel the only thing that fits, is the thin walled locking socket.

 

The problem is...if they can't get what they want, they often trash/damage your vehicle in some way.
If you can't be with your car most of the time, your a candidate.

It's the PITTS !!!
