tempted to refurb the oems

Reason for the change is all the lacquer is coming off the old ones.

However these are wider so the tyres sit better, hmm

Yer they are

To be fair after I had a grumble they were nice enough and are sending a new key FOC to arrive tomorow. Assures me it must be faulty and its never happened before. Time will tell.


these wheels are actually bigger then the old ones 17 inch and an inch wider. think its the colour.

Will clean it and get better pics at the weekend. They have grown on me and it defo drives better on them
