for fucks sake.
I had my mag wheels stolen off my celica about 18 months ago. about 9 months ago i actually caught the fuck with my wheels on his car (i could tell because of the marks on the wheels, and the fact the tyres were re-treads with a very rare tread pattern) so i reported him to the cops. they couldnt find him, until one day when i walked out to my (different) car in a hotel car park, and his car was parked right next to mine!!! cops came, took his car to the station, but since i couldnt prove without a doubt that they were my wheels (even tho i am still 110% sure they were mine) they had to let him go.
fast forward to the present day.
since i get a free work car i no longer need my celica, and its been sitting in a shed rotting for the last 12 months. the tyres are shot. the missus has been hassling me to sell it, but until i could get some new tyres on there, i couldnt.
so ive been scoping ebay for the last few months looking for a set of cheap mags with tyres i can chuck on the celica, since it would be cheaper and better than putting brand new tyres on shitty stock wheels. eventually i gave up.
so this morning i take the celica down to the tyre place and fork out 350 bucks for some new tyres. ive just walked home, and was browsing ebay, when, i found this listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&item=110024598769&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
these are IDENTICAL to mine that got pinched, with the IDENTICAL stud pattern and offset to my car. (early 80's celicas had weird stud pattern and offset, that was different to any other car out there). and we live in the same city.
why oh why couldnt i find this listing this morning before i paid 350 for new tyres on shitty black standard wheels?? WWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???!!! !!!!!!
there is a small chance that these wheels are actually mine that got pinched, but the tyres are different and i could never prove it anyway.
