They must be, didn't notice til the day after, but someone knocked off my ExplorOz wheel cover. Happened in Port Augusta - in a motel carpark. Had everything else locked-up, car alarm on, campertrailer padlocked - but I guess the local kids thought it too good to pass-up. Funnily enough my father-in-law warned me about port Augusta...look's like he was right.

If anyone see's one for sale on eBay please let me know LOL !!!


Cheers,
Jezza.

ps. typing this at Uluru...ain't technology great.

Looks like they're becoming 'collectors items' LOL

Just any style wheel cover unfortunately, if its easy to remove it walks.

I have mine done with business logo and have mine tied on. Sux that we have to protect our stuff so well to stop it being lifted, the stupid thing is they probably throw them away if they cant sell them quickly.

Jezza,you are taking this very mildly,the last person to have theirs knocked off the back of their car on this forum was so loud & demanding EO to replace it free of charge as they had only just renewed membership.
Sorry for your loss & hope you get another on soon.

Cheers,


Bob.

Hey Bob ,
I agree they were loud and they were asked to avoid using any colorful language but I thought it was another member that suggested the replacement and I don't remember the demanding ...Hey but maybe it was another post or I'm just plain wrong LOL!

I recall that post very well and the unfortunate member was most irate at the time but at never demanded it be replaced whatsoever. The said member was offered one from another Forumite and then David through the goodness of his heart offered to replace the wheelcover.
I thought both offers were very generous.

Oh Bobby! you can't tell me you haven't flown off the handle when you have had a really bad day!!!!!!!!

I was peeved Bob! big time I was! you don't come into my yard and steal my things, and I wanted my say in case the bugger who flogged it saw the thread and I wanted him to know exactly what I thought of him!
And I didn't demand EO to replace it at all! my suggestion at that was very tongue in cheek and I wasn't expecting anything to come of it!
Many thanks to the forum member who did offer.. He was quite annoyed himself as his cover turned out to be one of those things that you find you require, after you have cleaned out the shed!

Cheers all..
still love ya Bob!

Jezza,

These things must be becoming collectors items - Not that we offer a lifetime warranty or theft cover with these covers but we are happy to arrange to replace them for members if they get lost or stolen. Please order a new one in the shop and in the comments for the order mention Replacement as per David, on the payments screen select call us with card details and one the final page send a feedback saying Replacement order as per David (this is what will tell Adele to open the order before the payment has been received).

Hi All

I have in the shed an Exploroz wheel cover to suit a 235x 75x 16 wheel if anyone is interested. Bought it in the auction some time back but it does't fit my new truck Has a slight tinge of red dust on it but free to a good home
