    Stolen Center Caps

    I'm PISSED!!!! I look out at my car this morning and someone has stolen the center caps off my basketweaves. They aren't worth that much and there isn't much of a market for them. Why would someone take them? Probably some punk teenager or uneducated lowlife who thinks that because they say BMW they are worth alot. Oh, well. I'll file a police report to let the police know they aren't doing their jobs and probably won't bother to replace them. If any turn up coming from the KC area, they might be mine.

      Wrong and wrong again!

      They are expensive as hell new at the dealer, and they sell for top dollar on eBay. There is a solid eBay market for them.

          Damn them! They must have stolen them while the police were taking a break from their surveillance of your car.

          On a higher note... I think they look better without centercaps.

                Damn. I like my center caps off, I might as well throw them up on ebay. That's good money!

                I lost two of my Borbet center caps (or they were stolen) it sucks.

                          Yeah, it looks like your basketweaves without center caps are actually bottlecaps with center caps.

                              I got a set for 14 " wheels I'll sell them all for $50.00. I am doing a money crunch for my M50 conversion/stick conversion.
