Do wheels still get nicked?

[KungFuPanda]

It's been a while since I've seen a car in bricks or indeed heard of anyone getting theirs stolen.

I've just got some pretty desirable 21" wheels on my car today and was wondering whether it was worth putting a second set of locking wheel nuts on there?

Are you planning on going to Liverpool?

I live in Manchester which is only marginally better...

That really makes me sad.

Someone on the RRS forum has made a security device to cover the spare wheel. I think it's a metal disc that locks or something.

And where do you think a lot of those sets of wheels on ebay are from
Scrotes know how valuable some of them are, how difficult to trace, and how quick a return they can make.


Back in the mists of time when I actually arsed about modifying cars (peak max power era) I had some nicked, all thanks to some fkers with a £10 gator grip or similar.

I vaguely remember reading about Bernie Ecclestone having a couple of sets lifted when parked on the street too.

I think Ecclestone had one of the first CL63s in the country and his wheels got nicked.
