Exclamation Stolen Kinesis Supercup wheels

Please keep an eye out for these, stolen off my ’86.5 Porsche 928 S last night:

17” Kinesis Supercup wheels, 9” fronts, 10” rears, 928 offsets; shod with Kumho Victoracer V700 tires, 255 front, 275 rear.* These have silver painted cast centers with Porsche crest center caps, and polished rims.* They look like the Supercups shown on this page (scroll down a bit, http://www.928gt.com/Wheels-Tires/kinesis.htm).* They are well-used, show minor curb scrapes on a couple rims and cone scuffs on the centers.* They were quite dirty at the time they were stolen and show some corrosion on some of the rims (brake dust sitting in the rain).

Last located in Seattle, WA.

Sorry to hear that, good luck finding them.

Any damage to the car? A friends Audi had the wheels stolen, they dropped the car (no wheels) back down on the concrete - not pretty.

That really really sucks. Those are the best looking wheels for a 928 IMO, so I can feel your pain. I will certainly notice them on any car if I happen to see them, and will try to investigate further.
Try to manage your anger...at least it wasn't the whole car (I would need counselling if this happened to me). I hope that you can get them back, but they are likely out of your area by now.

They actually removed them from the car!? Sounds like you need to invest in a guard dog!

Sorry to hear about the theft. Hopefully your insurance will kick in.

Do you have a secondary set (Oem) for the car?.

What I would do - monitor Ebay - your local paper and the local Porsche/Non Porsche - salvage/wrecking yards.

Call all the Porsche repair shops/parts distributor within your area (if thats not too much work) and give them a heads up.

File a Police Report!

Again, sorry to hear about your loss.

Yup. Also, since Kinesis are really pretty uncommon, relay any distinguishing marks/details unique to the wheels that a cop might be able to pick up on if he's looking at a mounted set parked somewhere, or on the side of the road during a traffic stop. How many sets of 18" Kinesis wheels is a cop going to see in his lifetime?
I'd also give the local Bling Bling wheel shop (20+" wheel dealers) a heads up & reward if somebody comes in looking to sell them a set.

There are probably in Mexico right now on a stolen Chevy that was legalized down there.

If a car is stolen in Az, almost all go straight to Mexico.

How many other cars would those wheels actually fit? I somehow can't see a VW golf sporting those.
