Below is a message from Alex Cheng aka MAV1178
For those of you that don't know, the wheels that were stolen are VERY rare in the U.S.

Probably one or two sets of those TE37s, and same for the 5Zigen wheels (I know exactly who we've sold those wheels to, and have the contact info for every dealer that has bought those wheels in that size in any of the colors)... so if it ever shows up it is easy to spot.
  If someone has leads on these items, let me know. I can assure you that I will personally offer a reward to the person that has info on where these items are.   And if the thief is smart, RETURN IT TO HIM IMMEDIATELY. I promise I won't press charges if you return it intact, undamaged, and I would guarantee the safety of you and those assisting you. In other words, I'll let you guys leave in one piece. If you choose to keep the wheels to use/sell, I will personally see you to jail and make sure you know EXACTLY how I feel about this matter before you go see the police.
 

 thank you guys..  

Richard Tang
