Missing Wheels

[yemgi]

Here is what I found this morning while going to work:

Saying I am unpleased is an understatement :tsktsk:

[aztecbandit1]

:tsktsk: Sorry to see that mate, Thats really ****, i'd be very ****** off if i came out to see that! the thieving b*****ds :tsktsk:

Hope they havnt done anymore damage to your lex mate :tsktsk:

Will keep my eyes open for them matey :)

[reganlives]

not a good sight to see at all. didnt they even put it up on bricks? hope u find the feckers mate. I thought them days had gone where alloys got stolen

[Steviewevie]

Oh :tsktsk: , gutted for you mate. Hope the police catch the :tsktsk: s who did it.

Did you not have locking wheel nuts, or did they manage to get them off ? If the latter, then what type did you have ?

[yemgi]

There is a brick on one side and a compass jack on the other, the rear is ok but the car is resting on the front bumper at the moment and some studs are damagedfrom when they tried to remove the nuts with the car weight pushing on it. I am still waiting for the Police to come and do there report so I can go to work ...

There was no locking nut as I thought it would be anywhere near impossible for anyone to lift the car anyway due to the ground clearance. I was wrong.

I don't know how they managed to do it without anyone hearing anything :(

[reganlives]

what wheels where they? they look like R34 wheels on ur sig

[Parthiban]

Damn, I didn't think wheels got nicked anymore either - I guess they could have used one of those inflatable jacks..........

Hope there's no other damage to the car.

[yemgi]

They are 19" League LG099 with custom paint and carbon center cap:

[janey]

Really sorry so see this - hope the :tsktsk: get caught

Will keep our eyes out for them as they are pretty distinctive wheels

[Gord]

[aaronabbott]

[TommyH]

Gutted for you mate, hope the dirty thieving :tsktsk: get a very horrible disease :tsktsk: ers

[Mr Mole]

Cant believe some wa :tsktsk: has done this to your car.

Keep your eyes open on fleebay they might come up there.

Hope you find out who has done this and get your wheels back.

[Y2Kanjar]

sorry to hear this dude, thats just ****** up what ppl will do

[DJ Wozza]

That's terrible mate :tsktsk:, will keep eyes peeled on fleabay, and for other IS200/IS300's on the street.

What other cars use the same stud pattern ?

I have locking wheel nuts on my crappy damaged standard alloys, anything to deter people. Feels sorry for you mate just another dam cost in these expensive times, hope you get them back or a find a cheap replacement.

Also hope theres no damage to the rest of car, as yours does look great :(

I suppose locking wheels nuts make no difference if they really want something, like alarms etc :(

[aido]

If you've not already told your insurance Yemgi I'd prob not mention there weren't any locking nuts as they'll probably just try and aquirm out of paying - no point pushing the odds anymore in their favour! Thing is even with locking nuts they just use a universal not most of the time and hammer it over to remove it - it's all just extra cost for you at the end of the day.

Hope all is ok mate, that is a proper crapper though, I'm amazed they got under it as it was a low car!

[Dave-Ellen]

got some is350 17" alloys with decent tyres you can borrow if you want...commiserations BTW

[dave1]

Unbelievable. Hope there is not any damage to your car though.

[johny105]

gutted for you fella

[legendswraith]

Well it might be wise to post on a few of the forums other than this whats happened especially the toyota ones and keep an eye on eBay i'll bet theres not may about. I also have a set of wheels free come the weekend they're only rx8 alloys but they fit and i'll give you a lend to see you thru if you can get them

[yemgi]

Thanks for the kind offers, I have another set of wheels, I just hope they won't steal them as my standard wheels are in France :( . I bought a set of locking nuts even though I think it is just a placebo, they are all breakable.

[sparkystav]

Gutted for you mate, them wheels looked great on your car.

unfortunately the wheel fit quite a lot of cars so you'll need to have a good look around.
