I dont think those are his, those were listed before today, but might be a cheaper route then buying brand new.

And like i said if you need help give me a shout

I Believe there is a special place in hell for thieves. Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Go after market and get an alarm that sounds when the truck is lifted.

At least you've still got your tailgate.

Man that is terrible. So frustrating because there is pretty much nothing you can do. Makes you feel helpless, and you know that if you would have caught them they would have been crying like little bishes. I had a motorcycle stolen out of my garage, they broke in with crow bars. Cops were too lazy to even take fingerprints. Never heard another word about it. Gone forever.

I will keep my eyes peeled on CL and ebay while I surf the web at work. Maybe they will be dumb enough to post them for sale publicly. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss OP, In the pic it looks like the truck is on the discs if it is you may want the brakes checked for some warp. Disc brakes are strong but a heavy pickup might be different.

Hey guys thanks for the sympathy, I was pissed this morning and fit to be tied, if I would of heard anything I would be looking for an lawyer. Even if I find my exact wheels the police say there is no way to prove they are mine.

Another school buddy works for Garland PD and they have been chasing a gang of these theifs and they are here and gone in 2 mins. They are specifically after Platinum 20" wheels and 20" wheels in general. So if you don't have locks get them they are cheaper then all this hassel.

Police say they just slow them down but anything would be better then nothing, good luck and thanks for all the help guys!

The total cost for factory replacements are 6K, incase anyone needs to know, also the truck has been checked out by the dealer, they wont know anything till they get new wheels on it. The truck was actually sitting on the tie rod ends, so the disk are find but those may need to be repalced. The rear diff just has some scratches in it.

I'd suggest getting different tires with the insurance money. Almost anything is an upgrade compared to the pirellis.

Sorry to hear that some low life scum has done this. I for one keep my M4 with a 30 round mag loaded and ready to go. Let the bastards try and take any of my stuff, let alone touch my Ecoboost.
