Default I just got a call from my mechanic... my heart just sunk.

Ugh, when he called me he said "Hey Corey... your wheels were stolen." My heart hit the floor; I thought he meant the car was stolen.

The Stern Hypermesh wheels with Michelin Pilot Sports were stolen off of the car though. I didn't even ask if they had the dignity to leave the car on blocks... man I'm depressed.

The car has been there for 5 months now... so I'm sure they've been eying it for a while.

Does anyone have some 18x8.5's or 18x9's for sale?

Crap. Keep an eye out on eBay and the classifieds in the local paper.

If you're willing to do bolt pattern adapters, I recently saw some Turbo Twists 18x9...

Default Does your mechanic have good insurance?

depending on the laws in your area the shop that had the car is responsible for the loss.

Default yea.. I'm not current on everybody's availability. Originally sounded like Fri would be best...

Sunday is definitely out for me.. Got a fly-in Breakfast @ Camrose to attend and then probably a flight from there to Rocky Mountain House, Red Deer, and back.. then the whole rest of the day is booked.

Friday I'm off all day &amp; night, so it's best. You're good for transportation right Dave? Do you want/need a rendevous at YEG?
