Gutted for you mate. Probably some pykies or chavs stealing wheels. Didn't the alarm go off?

I'll keep an eye out on ebay, those are some very rare wheels in the UK.

The alarm didn't go off at all - these guys knew what they doing

Fuckers! The alarm is quite sensitive to tilt as I jacked up the car recently and forgot to unlock it first, alarm went off way before the wheel left the ground. They must have jacked front and back up at the same time.

This happened to my dad, they stole the wheels from his Toyota Avensis! Granted we were in Wembley, but a major piss take. Insurance company recovered the car and replaced the wheels + tyres.

Don't use the BMW OE nuts, buy the Mcguard ones - if you can deal with chrome nuts. Also the tilt sensor is not great. What the guys do is brick the car first, deflate the tyres and then get them off. The car thinks everything is OK. Been there and its not fun. Worse still it seeing how they have to lift your car to take it away to get sorted. These are things that make grown men cry.
