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..

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
