Default STOLEN WHEELS

Had a set of RB320 alloys with brand new (1 mile) Michellin pilot sport 4 tyres (225/40/18) stolen off my scoob last night.

No centre caps and they took the wheel bolts which are an allen key type.

I live on isle of wight and its looking like it could be mainlanders that have done it so please if you see any for sale please contact me on here or phone 01983 401518.

Thanks

thats **** mate-gutted for you. there cant be that many impreza's on the isle of wight so have a scout around. could well be worth asking at the ferry/hover-port to see if anybody remembers somebody taking some wheels accross.

i saw 1 scooby in southsea whilst i was there, it was a silver blob it was bombing around with a supra and a skyine,all 3 were driving like complete ***** down the main streets, perhaps have a word around to see if they know anything.

they look a bit battered!
To the OP though, Trents are 2 minutes walk from me, if they look like yours I'll go and take a look if needed?

But is it possible that yours are now on the car those came off?

It must have been a sickener to walk out in the morning and find that. Gutted for you, mate.

Didn't think things like this still happened. Hell, who even uses lock nuts these days ?
its surely a whole lot of work for theft of a few hundred quids worth of wheel ?

No help in finding your wheels but I believe IMPARTSB46 have a few of these wheels for sale quite cheaply.

I'm pretty sure they're the BBS spoked ones that came on some of the hatches not the RB320 design ones.

As much as I hate to say it, you should have had locking nuts on the wheels.
