I had a set of 5 trident mags wheels with tyres stolen from my place last night - was my spare set.
Stolen from Auckland NZ,
If every one could please keep an eye/ear open
Am offering a $250 reward for contact info of the theif/s so can break their knee caps because pay backs are a bitch

Hey busy, were the wheels for the custom van, or just ones laying around. Just shows that you have to lock everything up, little bastards will take anything not bolted and welded down. Busy, when you do their kneecaps, give the elbows a workout, that will put mongrels out of commision for a while. Good luck mate. BUGA.

sorry to hear about the loss.. nothing worse than having stuff ripped off.. one reason to go polyphasic busy.. your up all day and night ready to break there knee caps:)

These wheels were bedford stud and were for my other (third) Bedford
They took 5 bedford mags (all with good tyres) but left a HQ steel rim with near new tyre.
I had some other bedford stuff under the stairs but they weren't touched nor were the old truck batteries on the other side of the drive. So is hard to work out if they got them for scrap or for a CF. Probably just took them because they were mags but had no idea what they were off.
Am doing the rounds of tyre shops and scrap dealers on monday and keeping an eye online

put a wanted add in the paper you may get the guy trying to on sell them 8)

Yep had the same thought / Trade Me, but looking for 4 mags not 5 ...........

They won't give a rats if they have a left over, it cost them nothing, what do they look like, post a pic and I'll spread the news on all the other sites I visit
-
I think you guys call tridents jellybeans. I'll dig out a pic, cheers

Here's a picture of a rim if that helps.

I'll be selling mine hopefully shortly but I think I'll wait till you've found yours. I don't want a knock on my door from someone with a bat.

I have a set in my workshop that were on my van, trust me busy i have never been to NZ, and mine have black paint on them. ;D ;D ;D You can come to my place with a bat busy, but i only have half a knee left, better bring half a bat. ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D sorry buddy, this is a serious issue.
It has reach the point of locking up everything, or loose it unfortunately, we have had this problem b4 with other members and we will unfortunately have it again, sadly. You are on the right track though busy, what is happening today is that, these mongrels are steeling one day and on ebay the next selling your property. You sound as if you are monitoring the online shops, so good luck, they have only a 50 - 50 chance of getting away with it, better then none at all.

Have done a few local tyre places and scrap dealers today, no luck but from feedback from them it looks like they might of been stolen to be used. Tyre place would charge $10 to strip trye off and scrap dealer would only give them $10 each for them.
Would hate to think it was a fellow bedford owner
-
Hey Busy, what are the actual sizes of the rims and tyres? Would make it easier to identify them if anyone saw them advertised.
-
Flip, that annoys the snot out of me. Man, these dingbats need a kick up the backside. I will keep and eye out for it Busy.

They are the standard 14 x 7JJ Cheviot Tridents, and were sanded polished (sanded back with 600 wet and dry ad then polished to give that shiny matt shine. - from a distance they look like normal polished mag wheels)
Can't remember the tyre brands (wasn't the main ones) and think they were 205 / 60 /14.
Would know them if I saw them
