Default Z06 stolen wheels

Did anyone on here purchase a set of Z06 factory wheels within the past couple of years? Mine have been stolen from my shed & I just now noticed.

Dirtbags.... If you know him then that would be the first step in finding where he sold them and/or who to.

That sucks, unfortunately without an accurate time frame it will be almost impossible to track them down.

Man, that sucks. Not sure how you would ever identify them as yours though unless you had something etched into them.

Im not trying to be a jerk or funny, but this is a corvette forum, I would believe a lot of guys purchased a used set of z06 factory rims here. Sorry to hear about you getting ripped off but I am pretty sure they are gone. Not trying to be an azz.

Sorry but I have to agree with this. It's one thing if this happened in the past couple of days or weeks (perhaps even the past couple of months at the outside) but come on, the past couple of years? I think you should write them off as no longer recoverable. Again, sorry for your bad luck.

Sorry for your loss but they are most likely gone. Even the person that may have bought them might not even own the car, let alone know they bought stolen goods.

I hate to say it but, i'd bet, most stolen alloy wheels go to the scrap yard. I had 4 -15" alloys I scraped about 1.5 years ago and got a quick $92 for them.
