Hi All,

Have had them off my RRC for a few months (as ive got a set of 31's on it for rego) and they have been sitting in our yard (Heatherbrae near Raymond Terrace) and noticed they werent in the yard anymore - Stupid to leave them lying around I know!! :mad:

Just wondering if anyone comes across them.. as they are custom(ish) and would really only fit land rover.. ?

Eastern works wheels + 33x10.5r15 BFG muddies x 4

(still got the fifth one, yay)

Cheers for anything,
Tony C

Ouch! that must've hurt.
Hope you get the barstards. A bit of hard earned coin there. tyres will most likely end up on some other rims. Maybe worthwhile getting the word out all the tyre sellers in you're area! You just never know.
Good luck.

Ive got same tyres on my P38 & would be ****ed if that happened.

Also check not only eBay but gumtree, and a lot of facebook 4x4 sales sites.

Does anyone have a contact for blu77? Might have a lead on the missing rims/tyres. Have sent him a pm but as he doesn't appear to be on here much thought someone may have a direct number for him.

I have spoken to Blu77 this morning and passed on the information, he has seen the add. They look the same and the timeline all fits. Even if they aren't his, he should be able to grab them at the right price.

Had a similar situation happen with a mates deceased Son.
Son, shortly before his passing had his motorbike stolen.
It was given up as lost until one day over 2 years later it appeared on a Facebook Buy, Swap and Sell page...

Couple of questions and the police were engaged to go take a look...

Bike now recovered and investigations are continuing..

If they look remotely like yours get into finding the answer! Good luck!

Massive thanks to GuyG for alerting me to this post on buy, sell and swap fb page
Im Newcastle based -let me know if i can ever help you out! :)

Wheels recovered (even though i paid money to get my own wheels back.. :mad:)
the dude i got them from was located about an hr drive away and while on his way on up to the Barringtons for a 4b, i met him in Raymond terrace and wheels are returned

he was very obliging in the return and gave some information about the tyres (which were stripped from the wheels before he bought them)

Im not interested in recovering the rubber (although it would be nice) but would like to know how they came to be removed from our grounds (you could not see them from just passing on the street and it would a great effort to throw a 33" muddie and wheel over a 6ft chainwire mesh and 3 strands of barbed wire fence) - tending to point to an insider job.

Thanks everyone for your info - and may the decipitful sods reap what they sow!
