Crims
Last night my spare wheel was stolen from a reasonably busy street in Holland Park.
So, watch out if you have a G in london, the f*^$!ers might be building their way up to a full set.
ooo! how annoying!!
Sorry to hear that
was there a cover on it ?
cheeky c???s
Sorry to hear of your loss. Do you know that there is provision for a 2" padlock to lock to wheel more securely?
Likely the thief is not a G owner and the wheel may appear for sale on various sites. eyes open :evil:
Wow. same happened to me in bayswater same week. i just bought g55 rims to..so bloody insurance nightmare...1.5k all in,...really worried about replacements as it could obviously happen again...bloody crims
Hi culprit could be collecting aluminium for scrap...our local metal recovery plant gets an average of 100 alloy wheels a week (no cars attached) G' alloy rims would weigh better than a beer barrel --and less obvious....keep someones "habit" fed for another 24 hours!!!!
Yup - as Roly says. Put a padlock on it. But wrap it in something or else it always rattles when you hit bumps....
Hey Roly,
Is this something merc supply or are you just suggesting buying one that locks the outercasing?
There is a hole in the wheel bracket tube which you put a standard padlock through. This prevents the wheel being slid off the bracket.
hi there, sorry to hear the news guys !
toe rags are everywhere :x

Yep, cover was on. They levered off the lock and left both the cover and ring neatly next to the car. Weird...
BTW, anyone know where I can get a reverse wheel mount?
