I suppose you could use some tool stamps to put your VIN on the inside.
But no one keeps any list of such numbers for reference checks.
 
i didnt steal anything, a friend said he can get me 2nd hand mags cheap, and
my brother says dont get them cos if they r hot u can get in trouble

is he bullshitting so i dont get them?

thnx all

The only way you can get in trouble is if the cops can prove that you knew
they were stolen. Most of the time, they just seize the stolen property and
you're out the money you paid for them. That's when you hunt down the guy
that sold them to you and kick the living shit out of him.
 
yeah but how did they know they were stolen in the 1st place? is there some
sort of identification thing?

thnx

They might match the description of a set that was reported stolen. And,
they may be noticed on your vehicle by an observant officer (or even the
owner, may see them on your vehicle and call the police). You might be
charged with possession of stolen property and have to appear in court as
well.

Yeah, but like I said, in order to be charged with possession of stolen
property, they have to prove you knew they were stolen. Simply having them
is not enough. Keep in mind, I'm in Canada so I suppose it's possible our
laws are different.

As far as I know, 'they' don't have to prove that you knew the items were
stolen, that is irrelevant. The fact that the items are stolen is the
important part. A person buying a set of rims worth a grand and a bit, for
five hundred dollars, should be smart enough to know that the rims are not
cool to the touch.
 
If the rims are stolen and you are caught, they will confiscate the rims
regardless of whether or not you knew they were stolen. If they feel
that you should have understood that they were stolen you can be
prosecuted for possession of stolen property. From you posting here it
is obvious that the "should have understood" test is met.

Another point is that if the original owner spots you and your hot rims
he might decide to confront you with a tire arm rather than call the
authorities.

And, you've just opened a hole in the stolen parts supply chain, and it will
be filled.

Maybe with *your* rims.
