Hi all,

Some b***ards decided to break into my garage last night and nick my winter wheels and tyres which I had only taken off the car last weekend. :x

If any one is offered or sees any style 89 17" wheels with Nokian 225/45/17 winter tyres they are mine! :cry:
 
Sorry to hear this. Hope you get em back (not holding my breath I'm afraid) and that the thieving scum fall under the local bus!

Edited to correct autocorrect :evil:

Doubt it - they knew the wheels were there which means they saw you change them last weekend.
When you changed them did you notice anyone unusual around?
 
Probably seen changing them, so local scumbags. Keep an eye on local papers, Fleabay or ask around you want to buy wheels for a beemer that isn't a Z4, maybe they will be stupid enough to fall for it.
 
sorry to hear this

glad i bought my new alloys of JDM before this event or i would be asking questions hehe
 
Bad luck mate, can you claim on home insurance? Or brick the car up and claim on your car insurance (naughty naughty).

Style 89 are quite distinctive so you might see them being driven around locally, if they have Nokian tyres fitten then chances are they are yours. Definitely keep an aye on ebay though.

Depending on the type of criminal they might just melt down the wheels and sell the tyres which will be impossible to trace :(
 
Thanks for your comments guys. I swapped them over in a closed garage so no-one can have seen me do it, I guess it's just bad luck! As for insurance, home insurer have no interest at all as apparently wheels not attached to the car are classed as "an accessory for a motor vehicle" and therefore not covered. Haven't tried the car insurance yet, but I guess after a £500 excess and the increased premiums that will undoubtedly follow it's probably not worth it.

Will be watching Ebay like a hawk though...
 
I lock all my wheels together with an Almax chain. It's a damn sight harder to lift/roll four of them at once!
