Some time in the early hours of this morning my CSL wheels and tyres were stolen from my car that was on the driveway. The wheels are good condition (refurbished by previous owner) with one curb mark on one of the rears and they were wearing nearly new Michelin Cup's with silver race tape on the weights and rubber valves.
Dont hold out much hope but just in case anyone hears anything.

If any of you guys are users of other CSL sites and would be prepared to mention it i would appreciate it.

Thanks

When I lost my BMW wheel nut locks I went down to the local dealer who just opened a box and pulled a spare out of the 30 types lock they have, it was then that I realized that a separate nut lock is additionally required

You could just 'acquire' the master set!

I know someone who has 5 different sets of locks on his BBS LMs - and they're not just 5 different BMW locks either. The tyre fitters really love him wink

Get one set of BMW ones, one set of Paddy Hopkirk ones, one set of McGard ones, and a couple of different ones from here - http://www.mistertee.co.uk/8.html.

Even if you only put one type of lock on each wheel it'll still deter them a bit.

You could always set up some sort of alarm for them - which would alert you the first time, but probably not stop them the next!

Just read the bad news. Where abouts are you based? There were some CSLs with Cups for sale on MTorque (dec'd weeping) although they may have been through a long standing member as opposed to some fly by night.
