Help needed from marshals travels...
Hi...
Last night all four of my Smart Brabus wheels were stolen off it, from outside my garage. Being that it is a Brabus, there aren't many of them around. On our travel around the country, can I ask you all please to look out for a set of Brabus wheels about 4 months old complete with tyres. If you see or hear of any sets going, please can you contact me? Many thanks xx |

I'm sure everyone will keep their eyes peeled.
Have you got a picture of the type of wheel? And do they fit other vehicles? It could be possible that they may have ended up on another type of car, making it a bit trickier to spot. |

A picture of them is on this link, I can't work out how to upload one on here...
Wheels I spoke to a Smart techician this morning and he told me that the wheels will only fit on a Smart ForTwo or Smart ForTwo Brabus which is 2008 plate or newer. They won't fit on any other car. Last edited by Woolley; 23 Jul 2009 at 12:57. |

That's got to be easier to spot then.
Fingers crossed for you and hope the culprits get what they deserve. |

i'm assuming they had locking wheel nuts in which case the gits that swiped them knew what they wanted and where/how to get it, which makes me think they might have been stolen to order. if thats the case i doubt you'll see them pop up on ebay but i seriously hope you find them and they get all they deserve.

Thanks for posting the link Circuitmarshal.
They did have locking wheel nuts on them. Just slowed them down. The wheels will only fit a 2008 or new Smart ForTwo standard or Brabus. It is with the garage now and they are investigating what other damage they did but dropping it on the deck. So far apart from the wheels/tyres it needs all new dust panels underneath as all are damage and two suspension joints plus front brake discs. They need to get some wheels on it to get it up on a ramp to see what other damage there is. Thank you for everyones support. |
