| Wheels were stolen over the weekend, Brabus monoblock in black with Hankook V12 tires
Since these are easily identifiable I'm trying to spread the word in hopes of somebody coming across these wheels being offloaded. If anybody spots these for sale somewhere please let me and/or the proper authorities know. I have already filed a police report.
19" Brabus Monoblock with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo summers at about 70% tread, stolen from the Broadway/Macdonald area on late Saturday evening.
I'd be happy to gift $100 to a restaurant of your choosing for any tips leading to the recovery of said wheels.
edit - mistakenly put down Toyo as the tire type, it's actually Hankook Ventus V12 Evo

5x112 fit newer model VWs so I'll keep an eye out on those sites for you. Benz wheels are pretty commonly sought after for mk5/mk6s so they very well could pop up. Also curious if they were on the car or somewhere else.

Shoot that's unfortunate your wheels got stolen, they're really nice as well and for sure they wouldnt be hard to spot
Out of curiosity were there any wheel locks on your car which would prevent normal sockets from twisting the lugs out?

Damn sorry to hear that man. I got my tl type s rims stolen too feels like shit. Immediately went to my friend's shop to get three different wheel locks so now it requires three different keys to take it off. Can't be over prepared for this kind of shit. If they want it off they will find a way but hopefully it will buy u some time and hopefully have someone catch them on the act. Hope u find it soon.

Posted via RS Mobile | If they had the time to get the wheels, they'd prolly go for things in the car too, like a dash cam  | |
