Shock! Horror!

[dylanp]

Get dressed, go downstairs into the supposedly 'secure' underground car park and find my baby leaning to the left. So I think hmmm maybe a puncture? Oh no... The cu*ts have taken off all four wheels!!!
It just occured to me that I don't remember seeing the brakes on the car this morning either!! I hope they are there...

Anyway... Help please?

Where do I get 4 16" rims? Where is a good place to buy some Toyos? What size are the fronts and the backs?
Any help much appreciated...

Extremely frustrated Dylan

Thieving bastards! If it's scumbag amateurs, they probaby won't notice the 5 stud fitting until they try to fit them to their clapped out Nova.

I've e-mailed you offline Dylan - if you don't get it, let me know

Hi Dylan, unbelievable!

I've still got the 16" wheels that were orginally on my Tamora. Call me if you're interested? They've done 1500 miles so are like new. I live/work near Kings if you need to collect?

Cheers..... Andrew

These wheels are exclusive to TVR aren't they? would be eay to spot on another car, a long as it has 5 studs as you say and the correct offsets

[pbrettle]

You are kidding - unfcukingbeliveable....

What the hell is the world coming to. Commiserations and good luck sorting them out. Seems that Alt has a way forward though.

Cheers,

Paul

Shit sorry to hear about your wheels. Someone is selling a set of 4 on e-bay at the mo.

Unbelieveable!

I realise that this advice is a little late, but get in touch with the TVR Centre on 0208 440 6666. They supply locking wheel nuts for the Tamora, (appx £40 delivered), so at least the replacement wheels should be secure.

Unbelievable - my commiserations.

On a lighter note, I'd have a word with that mel character - he's been after a set for a while.

[dylanp]

Hey guys...

Thanks for the sympathy...

Anyway, I'm getting a set of alloys & tyres from Alt so life goes on - getting them tomorrow so still in time for some fun at the weekend...

Oh and I'm sleeping in the car tonight and tomorrow hoping that the c*nts return for more

Cheers, Dylan

If they come back... ...the b@st@rds

[dicky]

have sent Racing Green the tacks to find me some locking wheel nuts for mine, TVR apparently don't do any!!!! I shall let you know how they do

[roop]

Yep, they are a custom design as you say exclusive for TVR. If you spot them on anything else, collar the driver...!!!

Spotted a silver jap coupe (if I remember correctly) a while back with 18" spiders. Even had the TVR logo on them. I think that was about 4 months ago though and chances are he just bought them from dealer or whatever...ie legit.

[dylanp]

May my experience be a lesson to you all...

Spending £40 on some locking nuts is a very very good idea... Better still I've ordered two different sets so that they would need to work hard to take two off each wheel...

TVR-Centre have them in stock and as RobertM said they go for just over £40 delivered to your door...

Get some!

When I was looking for locking wheel nuts for my cerb, I took a wheel bolt into my local wheel specialist, (1/2 unf?) he found a match (said they were just a standard old bolt) £20.
worth a try.
