Dear All,
I'm new to the site and have really joined in desperation. I am a keen rally enthusiast with a couple of beat up Datsuns that I'm trying to get sorted for rallying. On Thu 3rd Feb 2011 a number of Datsun rally wheels were stolen from my shed. Please see photos
These are vital for my project as I'm having some re cast and need the originals for pattern making. I feel sure these will be passed on in due course possibly through eBay or maybe at meets but I would be very grateful if anyone has information that could lead to their recovery. Apologys for using the forum as a mayday message board but I'm hoping you can help.
regards
Tom

Contact all your local metal recycling yards and scrap metal merchants. (www.yell.com)

They buy rims for cash, based on the scrap value and chances are the people who took them did not know the rarity.

Thanks Hol,

Have been round the two metal recyclers that are local- no joy. But thanks for the tip. Hopefully, someone might come across them.

They may not have them yet. Give them a photo, offer a reward. If they come in, you'll get a call.
