Default Wheels stolen

Last week someone broke into my garage and stole 2 sets of Porsche wheels.

full set of 996 turbo wheels with Pirelli Rosso N4s

Set of 993 GT2 magnesium centre 5 spoke 9X18 ET 34 11X18 ET18 painted (silver) with nice painted Porsche crest centres with Bridgestone S02As 225/285

The GT2 wheels will be quite hard to shift since the offsets won't allow fitment to any stock Porsche.

Thankfully the car was not in the garage - it was in for work

Thanks for any info.

BTW this is in the UK

Man, I am sorry to hear this. In the long run these things CAN be replaced. Maybe not without some effort. It is far worse the violation that someone would break in and do this. I would like to just once catch an idiot like this. I would have some fun

If they come up for sale we will see them and you will be the first to know.

Sorry to hear this. Look at the bright side, at least nothing worse happened.

TB,
Hate to hear your misfortune, I had my car stolen in Chicago one time,
it was not too convenient!! (I still love Chicago though),
Good luck in the recovery of the items.

Hey Steve, if you're asking about my old 930, it is an '87.
