Needing new wheels
So - some thieving b*stard has stolen my wheels last night. Originally they were 16" 5 spokes off a 1996 Ford Probe V6, and looked the part under my arches. Now I'm not sure what they're on, but it not one of my cars.
I know my car isn't in the world's greatest condition, but I love driving it and am disinclined to get rid of it. Anybody got any suggestions as to what wheels I should get to replace them, or should I just put the original 15"ers back on, and just be happy.
Mind you, if I see my wheels driving around where I live, I think I might just take them back. And maybe the new owners brake rotors as well. Just for good measure.

damn thats shome shitty **** my friend....
I would say go back to your stockers simply because if you've got them and they are sitting there, they may as well be on your car so you can drive it
I really don't see the point in gram lights on that car

While putting the stock wheels back on, I've discovered that the vandals have also cut my brake flexihoses on both front wheels. Looks like I won't be driving the 7 for a while. 
Time to get my dirty peugeot back out. Urgh, pistons! Never mind - looking on the bright side. I now have an excuse to spend lots of time and money repairing her. 
Yes, this **** does happen in England. Just can't beleive that they've cut my brake hoses as well.

I live in an awful neighborhood. My car lives in the garage. If it didn't I would have to buy some locking lugnuts. I suspect everyone is evil and am paranoid by nature. They stole my antenna once when I parked it on the street. Who would steal a power antenna???? Some psycho that just wants to mess up your car because they are that envious. That sucks man, as you do your upgrades/repairs invest in the locking lugnuts and maybe an alarm.
