Warning! Stolen wheels alert! Prodrive GC-06 British Gold
Hello everyone,
I need to make an announcement that a set of British Gold Prodrive GC-06 Wheels in 5 x 100 17" x 7.5" 48mm offset were stolen with a near new set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's in 225/45/17" size. These were being stored at my local body shop, and were stolen from there. Not only was there a crime involved but... there might be injury resulting from these wheels. One of them was powdercoated no less than 3 or 4 times. They were trying to color match it to the rest of the wheels. The Embossed lettering around the wheel is abraded from the repeated stripping and powder coating and the gold color is darker than it should be. These may have been for sale on the market between September, all the way until present. If anyone has any information, please PM me or EMAIL me or something. I'd like for justice to be served. Thanks.

Good luck in getting your wheels back. If you know they have been for sale from Sept. - Present, why haven't you contacted the authorities?
And how was there injury involved? You lost me there. Again, good luck getting your wheels back. |

i think he is stating that the style wheel in question was only sold from sept-present, and im gonna assume by injury he means the person that stole them will get injured......
Good luck either way.....death to all thieves |

OK, so you guys are smarter than I am before noon. I kinda assumed that it was "death to the infidels" injury. Didn't pick up on the public market for sale...
Sorry Jay. |

As far as injury goes, one of the Prodrive wheels was powder coated 4 times or more and may have weakened the wheel. The wheel repair place stated something like a 900 deg. bake temp. So if someone was unsuspecting and bought them and auto-crossed on them or something, I'd hate to see anyone get hurt due to a failure. |

Umm, was the storage area broken into?
If not, start asking the employee's of the shop, who knew the wheels where there, knew the insurance company was taking them, etc.. How would anyone else just "break into" a stroage area and score the set. It was probably an inside job, and if in fact, I would hope the person knows enough not to try and sell them, cause he will loose his job as well. Paul G. |

Nice new wheels, did you receive compensation for your old wheels?

So the body shop paid for the tires, (I paid the difference between the size I had 225/45/17 and the size I got 235/40/17) and now I have my new Volks with new tires for $40.00 out of pocket. |
