Bought a new swift a couple of years ago, been regularly serviced at the Suuki dealers only.
Took a hub cap off the other week to swap it for a non scratched one ( very minor scratches but got a new one for free) and discovered the wheels had been changed for used ones, it is quite obvious, the car has only done about 18000k and the two front wheels don't match the rear in the make and looking used and the tyre wear, although you would expect the front ones to wear a bit different. Can't prove when or where or who, but if you are putting your car in for servicing suggest it would a thought to take the hub caps off so the wheels can be checked easily, the hub caps on the swift cover the whole rim. you could put locking nuts on but then the dealers would be chasing you for the key so they can check the brakes etc..

Similar thing happened to me...It was the spare tho.....As like most of us the spare never gets used....This one day I did get a flat and when taking out the spare from under the boot in the fuel tank well...
Its was half tread and different pattern.......I bought the car new and never had it on....it must have been in a service place as no one else had the key.
