    Came home today to find someone stole the spare wheels for my Ferrari and Alfa that were in my back yard!!! Argh... (have an alley in back, but a gated driveway) Someone must have seen the stack of wheels/tires and thought they could sell them. No way anyone knew they were Ferrari/Alfa wheels...
    I'm so bummed... twice in one year I get my **** stolen... damn.

    If anyone see's some Gotti's for sale, let me know..

    Hopefully your homeowner's insurance will cover it. Still sucks, but it would be nice if they could take some of the sting out of it.

    Eric, Im so sorry to hear this. My advise is to keep looking at craigslists, ebay, amazon, or even try going to some garage sale and swap meet places and see who's selling some Gotti wheels. Hopefully you'll catch whoever took them.

    Thanks.
    Yeah, I'm checking CL and ebay.
    I will take a look at some used tire and wheel places.

    I'll find some old pictures of my car with them.

    Check out your local recycling centers. They very likely stole them to sell as scrap metal. It happened to me last summer. I checked the scrap yard & I missed the a**hole by 3 minutes. They paid the guy $ 2.75 each. I had to pay the same amount them to get them back.

    Hey Chuck. great suggestion. I've called the places around me. They all said they get hundreds of wheels so.... but they said they would check and one place said I could fax them pictures so that is good. thanks again.

    Hi Eric, just saw a set of 16" Gotti wheels on FerrariAd.
    Does yours looks like that?

    Thanks Mike. I clicked on the link nervously thinking "what if they're mine"?

    They are not. Mine had silver center sections and Ferrari horsey on the cap.
    Aside from that, yes, same type of wheel.

    Yeah Joel, it feels like it. (But you had it worse, so in comparison...)

    Well, I still own the "spirit" of my 355 ... :) ... and a set of steel-braided brake lines, if anyone's interested.
