Who said they were stolen in the first place?

Just because they came from the wrong side of the tracks and they were cheap it means they were stolen?

Were you born that dumb or did you have to work on it? Oh and the penalty for possession of stolen property is just as stiff as theft.

Not if they're ground off.

I had a guy try to sell me a theater system that was brand new...he was in a car parking lot in a van....

But i'm sure they weren't hot...just like these rims.

If it's too good to be true, it usually is.

... and other times it's just a good deal.

I paid $200 for my wheels. Here is another brand new set that ended on eBay without a single bid and they were only asking $200 as well.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...8996512&rd=1,1

Hmmm... maybe nobody bid on them because everyone thought they were stolen. Maybe that sellers (OEM_WHEELS) other 6,248 other transactions were all stolen too! Jeez, that guy's been selling stolen tires and wheels since April of 2003 and he still hasn't been busted!!!

I don't see any right now, but I've been looking for the past few weeks and have seen several sets of these sell on eBay for under $275 including S&H. I only paid $200 because I picked them up in person... it wasn't that incredible of a deal... these wheels for some reason just don't sell for that much.

That's an admission that they were stolen.

That's actually pretty funny. Well if you notice that I stop posting all the sudden... maybe that's what happened.

BTW you watch too much Judge Judy.

All signs point to the fact they were hot. Alot to be said for doing things the right way and getting a good nights rest. This forum has alot of hard working people, might have gotten better results posting such things on a civic forum. They like making mommy and daddys money go a bit further

This thread is STUPID let people do what they do. What are we 10, Im telling, everyone GROW up! This same legal crap, cry me a river iv done wrong, people jumped all over me when I drove my truck on that stolen car. Go join and get though police school then come back and tell us laws other wise stick it.
