Hello everyone,
Haven't been on here for a long long time, mostly to do with work, changing jobs, and other hobbies not to do with the S2000 now.
How is everyone doing? Better than me I hope.
Last night I had my rims stolen from my car in East Perth, it was parked in my "secure" lot in the basement of our apartment complex.



They are Buddy Club P1 QF, staggered
17x8 +45 Offset & 17x9 +60 Offset

These rims are fairly rare in Perth, not to mention the S2s have a really different offset and the stud pattern to more common cars, so really it would only really suit another S2000 as a set, but could probably be sold as pairs on the other hand.
I've only seen 1 other set in Perth, but they were not the QFs.

If you guys see anything up in the forums anywhere else, if you could let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

That sucks, I have the exact same wheels on my car aswell. Did you have some lock nuts or just regular lug nuts on there?

damn, sorry to hear. I wouldn't know what to think if i saw me car like that.

I doubt it will ever be on a different car unless it's another s2000 with them size. So we'll keep an eye out for them and possibly a repainted too.

There has been a lot of crime in Perth lately.....

I will keep an eye out for you.

I have lost all hope with these secure parking bays. Had so much damaged and stolen in the last 12 months i will never rent an apartment like this again.
I will keep my eye out too. Bet they have been stolen to order though, or they will end up in another state. Hope the insurance pays out. Lock nuts/lugs? Hope they didnt dump it to the floor

There weren't any locknuts. I had forensic police come out, cause we realised our storage unit in the basement also look liked someone had tried to break in to that too. They dusted the car and all contact on the car was either wiped, cause the cop said there were no prints at all. Lock nuts would've just held them up. They still would've gotten them off eventually if they were pros.

Aparently our apartment complex has a history of theft, I was talking to the neighbours. This was just the icing on the cake, as my work car has been broken in to twice now. This is the 3rd time in 6 months.

We're gonna be looking for a new apartment or townhouse with more security, or an individual garage.

sorry to hear about that, these should be easy to find if they ever come up for sale somewhere...that's really harsh.

sorry to hear bro .

This sort of shit use to happen in the 90's. Several of my mates back in the day had their rims stolen.

With price of rims these days, didnt think low life fkrs would still be desperate enough to steal other people's rims.

To be honest, lock nuts wont really stop them. If they are pro's they will have equipment to by pass lock nuts.


a tip for all , engrave a spot on the inside of your rims .

par4dox, all i can say is dont rent on Aberdeen street either, Arcus apartments. Thats wheere i live and thats where i have been done over 3 times I am moving state, but also will be on the lookout for a home with a big garage, or at the least somewhere i can lock the car out of sight. These apartments car parks seem only secure to the theives who have all the time in the world to rob you. I was robbed of 10k's worth of gear, they caught the crook, and what did i get? Nothing. What did the theif get? Community service, for a 4 time offender. No wonder they continue to rob....
