Do Luck Double Six wheels stolen from EA Games promo Sumo Power 350z ... In HULL

Come on Tim, they won't fit the Volvo, give them back.

Any one want a good set of wheels Do-Luck Double Six's, in Chrome with Toyo T1-R tyres, never used. See my Ebay page. Supply your own nuts. Also see my other page for pirate copies of NFS UG2, free wheel nuts with every game.

but they WILL fit a nova

i've got a tig that says so :)

10 copies of a mediocre game for a set of wheels? Seems a bit mean to me I bet the game doesn't cost more than a fiver a copy to make including the packing so £50 would be less than one of the T1-R's is worth.

Hello, PLEASE NOTE - this reply was not spammed across the many newsgroups the original was posted.

If I had anything that valuable I would take the required security procedures to protect it. This is just common sense, unless there is some insurance policy in force that will pay more than the insured items were really worth? I am assuming the non-standard/specifiaction parts were declared to the insurance company? When will people learn that the person pinching stuff is probably a junkie or wannabe boy racer that doesn't have a clue about offsets etc or any other specifications. They will take anything. A proper security system should have been fitted in the first place and anything that valuable or unique should have been suitably protected.

He's not trying to buy them, he's already done that...

Hmm, I saw only three, reasonably on-topic, groups, and since they're not selling something... It could be a thinly disguised advert but as they're saying these wheels will not fit any of our cars its not a very effective one.

Er... yes, the original says the insurance is fine and the replacements will be paid for. What they're supposed to be doing with them is a promotion for LFS or something similar and this car is obviously a centrepiece of some sort. It's tantamount to a tomb raider promo where someone has nicked the fake Yayas that the model Lara Crofts prance about wearing, and they're saying the factory where the Yayas are moulded takes two months to puff up some new ones, so please can they have them back?

The appeal is evident enough, the wheels are useless to the thieves as they only fit one particular car type and they've not taken the special nuts needed to mount them anyway. So they've little to gain from spoiling the roadshow which will be less fun for the punters if the car has some sort of naff Halfords on as a temporary measure, the replacements taking months to ship over from Japan.

I don't see what the problem is here, it's a pretty reasonable request IME although I doubt it will turn up trumps.

Why not ?

There's nothing wrong with crossposting.

You should probably obtain a definition of the word "spam" too.

They did.

Of course.

Er, they know that. Their wheels have just been robbed !

It was and it was.

Agreed.

It seems a perfectly reasonable request to me ! And I can't think of anywhere more on-topic than car-modifying land !

The wheels are nothing special. Get over it.

tosser, you get over it when someone steals your wheels, and u cant drive to work do to massive kinetic friction.

Theo (theo*+*@*+*letsblowitup*.*com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Somebody's missing the point...

There's plenty of 350Z wheels going to be available off the shelf or in a day or two. The insurance'll pay the loss.
