Levitating Camaros Sitting on Blocks After Wheel Theft
A story is making the rounds this morning. Apparently at a dealership in Texas, a bunch of brand new 2016 Camaros had their wheels stolen. In just 4 hours, the thieves ended up putting a total of 48 vehicles, including other models, on blocks. Pretty nuts.
If you see any suspiciously cheap OEM rims floating around for sale, now you know where they probably came from. Source: http://www.autonews.com/article/2016...stolen-from-48 |

$250,000 in tires and rims off of 48 vehicles? Hmmmmm......that equals $657.89 per item (4 tires and 4 rims off of each vehicle). That's $5263.12 per vehicle. Some were from Silverado's and Traverses as well as Camaro's. Seems high to me. Regardless, is a shame.
