That sucks :(

Unfortunately, I doubt whoever did it will be the type to advertise them for sale. Anyone know the scrap value for alloy at the moment? More than likely a few hundred quid will be made weighing that lot in :(
Maybe a drive round some of the scrap yards asking questions, although don't expect anyone to say 'why yes, I've just paid some pikey looking c8nt a load of cash for that pile of wheels'.

Whoever did it must of been clued up as to where the wheels were (was anything else taken?) and ready prepared with a vehicle suitable to carry all those wheels.

Very little on that list are saleable as sets, they will be weighed :(

Your best bet is to contact all the frag yards within a one hundred mile radius and give them a heads up. Not that they will be bothered .

Sorry to hear about that, I'm very local so will keep my eyes and ears peeled.

I can't see if there's any pics as I'm at work(images are blocked) but if not it may be worth posting images of the rarer and more valuable wheels so we can all keep an eye out.

Probably been stolen by gypsies for weighing in. Best idea is go looking round the scrapyards locally and fast, though they've probably been crushed by now :(

If you go into a scrap yard and ask to look at their scrap wheels because yours have been stolen they will tell you to fork off, sad but true :(
