A mate from Tatsu has had his garage near Bristol broken into and had a few things nicked, including a set of rare wheels:

They're 17", 4x114.3, can't remember the offset but they're not a common wheel or fitment.

Could anyone let me know if they see or hear anything.

Thanks

They weren't fitted to the car, he's just fitted a new set, these were stacked in the garage!

I'm assuming you're joking.

They broke open his garage door:

Then, in stealing his bike and the wheels, climbed all over his 240z that we painted about 4 months ago.

hopefully you will catch them and gently pry their arms from their sockets with some bolt-croppers.

With the wheels being as rare as they are, they are sure to rear their heads somewhere sooner or later.:nervous:

Will keep an eye out.. Thats the same size PCD as a S13...

We have been robbed and they stole an R33 GTR which was found about 4 years ago and is now solf =( and an x-type jag which was found about 6 months ago but insurance company had paid out so that was that.

Its really odd to know someone has been in your house, they came to the bottom of the stairs because they had taken my mums handbag too.

I woke up because of the skyline being completely ragged out of our drive. They were arrested when they found the x-type so i felt a bit better then.

Update on sizes:

They're Stich Evolution, 17x7.5 and 17x8 all et24.

I was in a traffic jam on our local flyover today and a wheel roled past us, it had come off an approaching vehicle behind,Shock , and funny enough, the first thing that popped into my head.
Wonder if that is one of Alex's mates wheels:banned: opcorn:

 

[MacGTR]

rolling wheels or hub caps are funny, hilarious to see one holing past you on the road

Had a trailer with about a ton of gear in it overtake me once. Trouble was, it was our trailer and we were on the way out of Earl's Court. The detachable towbar self-detached from an E-Class Merc and we watched as our trailer took out a brand new Earl's Court traffic management Volvo.

Mad at the time but damn funny in retrospect. Bit of a Monty Python moment!

A friend of mine is a truck driver, he was driving along a motorway when all of a sudden the traffic comes to a standstill. He managed to slow down rapidly and stop as he had no goods on the trailer. A second after he notices 2 wheels(joined) overtake his wagan go up the embankment and stop just short of the hard shoulder. He looks behind him expecting a pile up but nothing. The traffic isnt going nowhere so he gets out of his rig, lights up a *** and goes to look at the wheels. they looked decent so he manages to roll them back to his truck to find that there were actually off his lorry trailer...
