SSR Professor SP1 Stolen off car from workshop - NEWCASTLE AREA
 Hi guys, Well, pretty happy with a phone call I received this morning telling me about all the new goodness going into my engine. New crank, Forged JE Pistons, Manley H Beam rods, Head has been rebuilt, race spec bearings etc etc. However, Someone has broken into the workshop yard last night, and the only thing they did other than to damage property of other peoples was to steal the wheels off my car. so the SSR's are somewhere in the Newcastle nsw area, If anyone hears or perhaps sees a set rolling on a car the sizes were 17X7.5 and 17X8.5 fitted with brand spanking new Kumho KU31 tyres. Appreciate any heads up guys. really annoyed right now... 0407 291 534 or aarontreay@outlook.com

That sucks! Sorry to hear that. Surely the workshop will be compensating/replacing as part of their insurance?

Yeah he has offered to replace them with another set of wheels and tyres. He really shouldn't have to do that though, some dirty thief has been eyeing it off I think, had time to work it out before acting on it as the car has been there so long now.
oh well. I'll start looking at wheels and tyres to see what I can come up with.
I'll have to look into best size for my needs and go from there.
cheers.

Dude that sucks. I'm always very close to the wheels being sold around Australia so I'll let you know if I see something in those specs. Do you know the offsets? Tyre sizes? centre caps? etc? Any identifying features that make these stand out as yours would be helpful!

To be honest I don't know a thing about them, I had no centre caps on them, I only know the sizes. the wheels were all fitted with brand new rubber however the front right hand had a chunk out of them due to the bonnet cable getting caught on the wheel and taking a slice. so if I see that I know they are mine for sure.

Ok mate. If I see anything i'll definitely pipe up.
Yeah mate we can definitely get the buckled fixed. Already taken it to a place for a quote and was quoted $100-150 to fix.
Your car doesn't really seem that low to me. still plenty of room between the tyre and the guard from the pics shown. I don't think you'd have many problems if you rolled your guards.

Hi Treay, I'll keep an eye out. If you are on FB It might be worth putting it on some of the MR2 groups. There is a Newcastle Theft Register on FB as well. https://www.facebook.com/groups/141306229396432/ Hope to see you at a meet sometime. Next one is 28th April.
