The mrs car needs new tyres. Its a ba fairmont and it currently wears ba xr8 rims in 18s.
I have a set of 19" dark argents in the garage which are as brand new with new tyres. I tried to sell them fir $1300 but noone bought them. I thought instead if spending $800 on tyres for the mrs, id just stick the dark argents in it. But she parks the car at the train station every day she goes to work, from about 7am and by 5pm she is at her car. car is parked street side parallel to station and in open well lit area. But its sitting there all day everyday. Would you run the risk? Bringing unwanted attention to the car or worst case my mrs being confronted at her car for her keys. Car has good alarm but do lock nuts do the job? Station is west of sydney so there is more than enough theives circling. Would you risk it? How can I do it safely as I dont wanna spend the money on new tyres when I already have them |

I never leave my car parked at a train station car park.
Have had to catch the odd train from Western Sydney ... and even early in the mornings there's some dodgy looking people wandering through the carpark looking through car windows ... blatantly in broad daylight as well. I don't risk it.

I wouldn't park any decent car at any Sydney train station , especially out west irrespective of the rims it had on it.
