...Are those the factory mag wheels?...

 

Those are factory Datsun wheels, from the (roughly) same year 200SX (Silvia)

 

Here is a good link: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/12/2008/07/340x_82_Nissan_Silvia_JFM_476.flv.jpg

 

(BTW: I LOVE those wheels, and they are on my sedan... http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk262/woerzw/100_1576.jpg)

So 80s looking! Maybe it will in time become the classic that the early 70s models are now.

 

Here the front page pic:

 

It's smaller in the paper though.

Here is the 210 factory option wheel (also used by 200SX I believe):

Didn't Officer Britt Sweeny put some bullet holes in that 210?

At least one bullet struck the 210 according to the article. Poor car...it will probably sit in the inpound for years.

It will likely be in impound until at least through the trial, assuming the defendant actually does survive. Unless it's not deemed necessary as evidence.

 

At that point, it would be released back to next of kin, but if they don't reclaim it it would be sold at auction. They sell small evidence through an auction website but larger items through James G Murphy.

 

The truck I'm driving was held as evidence but was released fairly quickly back to the surviving family- but then again, the owner pled guilty so there wasn't a prolonged trial. I don't know if the truck I have actually was in impound though. Don't think so, as it was pretty much in the same place when I went to buy it as it was in the news photos of the crime scene.
