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..

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
