that's right... I just had my MK1s straightened and powder coated flat black. Installed the tires Sunday, and now they're gone. Someone just broke into my garage last night and took them... :mad They must have seen me bring them home and put them in the garage on Sunday after getting the tires put on. I'm at a loss right now.

:(

:eek:

Watch ebay/craigslist/roadfly/etc. like a hawk. You'll know if you see your wheels out on the street too...

april fools?

Believe me. They're the only PC'd MK1s. I think the previous owner was just as anal as me... the covers have his initials and some number etched on them for identification. I have those written down.

april fools?

I wish. Unless some jackass plans on coming back to my house, put back the wheels and fixing the lock on my garage.

:bawling

pics? ill keep an eye out on the webs during free time... also list anything they may say about them to sell them

Noooooo!!!!

That sucks man, no words could probably come close to what you are feeling.

I will keep an eye out for them, after all how many flat black Mk's are around.

Hope somebody (responsible) will find them and get them back to you

Wow man, death to them. I'm really sorry to hear this:( I hate thieves

I have pics of the wheels without tires.. from when I picked them up from PCing. I'll post when I get home from work. (although I may cry when I see them)

Man.. I hope your kidding us. That is terribly upsetting. I'd be so livid right now if I was you.. I half livid right now, who would have the nerve to break into someone house to steal their wheels?

Sorry to hear man. I'll keep my eyes peeled as well. If they try to sell them online we will find them.

Wow, man sorry to hear that! Scumbags! I was pretty stoked to see these on your car. Hopefully you find them.

that sucks big nuts Ian. Keep a look out, they cant be too far. After all, they're lugging around special heavy wheels.

You can use that etching the PO had as a way to get em back. Almost as good as the VIN etcher.

Alright.. alright... April Fools!

I know.. what a sick joke. Just my way of throwing out a teaser thread with a little twist. (I kinda hate teaser threads.. but this is a little different)

Here are some updated pictures. I got them PC'd last week and did have the tires installed this weekend. I didn't keep them in the garage, I put them next to my bed :D

I'm ordering some new center caps from MK Motorsport, and will probably order a set of BMW emblems to see which ones I like best. Will be installing sideskirts and 540 ducts hopefully this weekend (at least one will be done)

Feel like coming by to help? :DCool stuff. I'll let you know if I have some time since I'd like to see how precise you need to be with the cuts and stuff. How much were the ducts, btw?

Any way of obtaining new mk2 wheels i don't believe they are in production anymore?

are those all 10's? they dont look staggered

LOL.I thought who would steal his MK's when I can't give mine away.

Cool stuff. I'll let you know if I have some time since I'd like to see how precise you need to be with the cuts and stuff. How much were the ducts, btw?

You have my number.. just give me a call if you have the time. I got the ducts from lowell... $50 shipped with hardware.

are those all 10's? they dont look staggered

No. I wish. 18x8.5 in front.

I do know a guy locally that has 18x10 front and 18x11 rears on his e31. He also bought 2 of my extra 18x8.5... so I'm trying to see if he'll sell me either his 18x10 or 11's.... :D

LOL.I thought who would steal his MK's when I can't give mine away.
