antz Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 some of you may know that i dropped some old 13x5 inch steel wheels to a mate at ford fair to be banded to 6.25. good news and bad news! good news!!!....got them back today! bad news!!!....the package split open and somewhere between leaving the M25 and getting to my house one of my wheels has done a runner and cant be found! ...it split out of the packaging and ran off! DHL are on the case but there was only 3 when they arrived at my local DHL depot but 4 left my mates house wrapped up. so now i only have 3 banded steels...if anyone works for a courier and finds a 13x6.25 banded steel wheel...please can i have it back? pics: If i ever manage to trace the 4th wheel ill be sending them away for blasting and powder coating before they go on the car!
