i think that you need a receipt as proof for starters, and then i guess a police report would help (if you reported them stolen)?

sorry about the lack of info, but this happened to my g/f (wheels got stolen) and she needed a receipt for proof of purchase.

curious... what rims are they?

Dude, sorry to hear that.

How did they get stolen? During the night, parked on the street? Did you have the special lock-nuts on them?

Hope they didn't cost too much. Less than your insurance excess?

I haven't had experience with this, but common sense dictates that you should report it to police, not because they will do jack $hit, but to get the formal report, and then contact eBay with a copy and the seller's details.

Most likely you won't get the wheels back but hopefully it will damage the seller's reputation. Something at least. I'm sure you need a credit card to be an eBay seller, so eBay should have all their personal details.

The question is, how do you prove they are yours? Are they distinctive enough to do it on photos alone?

Yeah, you need receipts and preferably any photos of your car with the wheels on them.

But I really like R-Spec's idea... just "buy" them off him, although he will want to deliver them most likely instead of having people actually meet him.

Please post the link.

dont even bother buying them.

1 - send him a message on ebay asking if you can inspect the wheels.

2 - turn up (with friends) and tell him they're yours, and you will have cops there shortly if needed

3 - take the wheels.

4 - if he gives you any grief, deal with him appropriately.

although most of us will probably go to step 4 a bit earlier in the game :/

but first MAKE SURE they are definately your wheels.

he probably lives in a crap run down house with holden parts all in his front yard lol.

but im happy to tag along and give someone some much needed pain.

(sounds like my karate lessons could come in handy after all :/ )

i think the seller would probly want to post yea??

if not yea i'm in to go 'collect' with you and who ever else!!!

we'll make a SAU vic day trip out of it maybe??????

hmmm it's shit what they did... goodluck with the rest... i think helps all around if needed :/

That sucks. I don't think there's anything you can do without proof that they're yours. Beat him/her up and you'll end up charged with assault. :/ Unless you go check it out, beat him/her up so hard that they get amnesia or something and take the wheels while you're at it. :/

Ebay has a reporting feature but that would most likely just end up with the item removed and them selling it elsewhere.

Why can't the cops do anything?

Ask for inspection or pickup of the item and win it.

Then make sure he leaves you positive feedback on ebay before after you take the rims for free (using your preferred negotiation technique :/) lol

show us a link of the rims on ebay?

and yea if they yours if u got a picture of them of course if they got same tyre brand on them have some friends with some swords and guns and stuff and take them back and say never steal anything or u know what you gonna deal with next time hahahaha lol :P:D:ninja::D

theives should be dealt with correctly.. and i mean.. wrists and fingers broken :D or even a nice hammering to the back of their hands (casino style)

If i were u ferah.. find where they live and make sure they cant scratch their balls and piss out of a straw for the next 6 months!

would've been a good idea to get your license no stamped on the rims somewhere i guess

but doubt theres much chance of you getting them back..

+1 what rims were they and whats the ebay link

maybe this guy just found a photo of your car with the same rims and is using that..

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
