Wheels Stolen Last Night

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

I woke up this morning to my car balancing on bricks and the two wheels on the passenger side missing. I've got a 2013 Fiesta Zetec S 1.0l ecoboost.

I've reported it to the police but there's little they can do. I was hoping you guys could offer some advice in getting them replaced. I can see that the tyres say 195/45 r16 but is there some sort of model number for the alloys?

I've attached an image below.

Cheers,

Aaron

Mate I can't thank you enough, they are the same wheels! I will call them first thing tomorrow.

I couldn't believe it when I woke up and saw them gone. They had the locking wheel nuts fitted so I have no idea how the muppets got them off.

Locking wheelnus can be easy to remove without the key. There are sockets available with an internal left hand thread that bite into the nut as you undo them as you would normally. Some wheelnuts have a case hardened outer ring that helps prevent this, but even that can be overcome. Sorry to hear of the theft, there are some toerags who would benefit from electric shocks applied to their own nuts.

No worries mate and yeah should do the good thing about them is they come with tyres too! i would imagine they be same tyre size too and yeah thats what im wondering!

Guy on the sales forum has a set for a titanium... Still 16" alloys and look similar. cheaper than what you could get 2 new alloys w/o tyres

Very sorry to hear about the wheels.

Is this car really that bad, that they have to scrap it? 3000 miles only what a shame :wacko:

That's a link Jeff that I put in so Aaron can get the wheels from not his car lol

Yes I know, my question was about the scrapped vehicle, I'm sure Aaron doesn't need his vehicle scrapped after theft of wheels, unless they really did a number on the car

Aww lol sorry my bad just finished work so brain not working at 100% yet :p

And I chatted to the breakers when getting my spoiler apparently a vehicle got hit at a corner at a junction and buckled the vehicle so too expensive to fix so written off (was a whole ago a got my spoiler so I can just remember this)
