Rim Story
I just finished putting on 2500 miles on my 2k2 Max after having it for 6 weeks (A trip from NY to D.C. put on 600 miles). Well any way on the Saturday night of Memorial day weekend I came home about 2:30am and found the garage door left open in my apartment building due to a mechanical breakdown which the superintendent did not fix.
Anyway, a message was left on my answering machine
at 6:15 am, by the Super saying that my wheels are gone. My wife woke me up frantic at 8:30 am and I ran down only to see my new Max on the floor....not even a brick or anything...but on the rotors. The rotor were large enough to leave a
two ince gap between the bottom of the car and the hard concrete.
Well, the building took responsibilty because of the broken door...and the replacement cost is $577 per rim, $27 per center cap (the little 2 inch cap) $930 for a set of Bridgestone Potenzas and $350 for a mechnical inspection and replacement
of backing plates (which are still on back order as of yesterday) for rotors.
Total: about $3700.00
The wheels are took more than a week to come in since they were also on back order.
Pray this don't happen to you...
The next hot item of theft are the HID lights....I have been told there is pretty much no way to prevent this in the NY area but to keep you car in an indoor garage all the time. Any suggestions in protecting the lights?
THIS SUX

Damn that sucks man...for the $3700 you should just f*ck the stock wheels and get some aftermarkets. For that price you could get 19" Advan wheels!
As for the HIDs, apparently there is a lil somethin you can do...check out this thread: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ight=HID+BOLTS
