Guest, New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store ? Order now from the merchandise store
Per wheel? Around £30-60 per wheel depending on where you go. Worth paying for a good job, IMO.
The original RS4 wheels, the multi spoke ones?
Or the new RS4 wheels, the twin spoked ones?
First ones... BORING! Old, cheesy, everybody has done it before.
Later, newer ones are very nice wheels!

will it increase your premium if you simply "paint" (powder coat) your wheels? always been curious about this one..?
hmmm, i think you would have to declare it but lets face it if you're insurer tries to bump up your premium you just go to an insurer who is a bit more mod friendly!
will be switching to greenlight in october soo all will be good on the mod front as ive heard they only bump up a lil for a remap
whereas virgin wont allow ANY modifications to the outside haha
arr...i tried them just outa curiosity in april (i took up with virgin in march because the were the cheapest) and theyv offerd me £400 cheaper than what im paying now, but il have another year ncb in october so should be cheaper
So if you have your wheels refurbed, and repainted, you have to tell the insurers??!! how come? for what reason? mine are now diamond cut, with grey inlays. surely, as they are standard wheels, thats fine. when i has a mk2 golf 1.3 and put GTI pirelli 'p's on they said as VW alloys no extra charge.. and they was refubed and recoloured!!
i guess, but its just another way they can stich you up for more £££!! i dont think im going to bother. they no about my tints and they dont seem to fussed about them as no extra charge ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
the crucial thing is, if you have a crash and they inspect the car and find mods that you havn't declared, they have every right to (and almost certainly will) declare your insurance invalid leaving you with a large repair bill for your and any other parties involved cars.

to be honest with you, i dont think that they would be that botherd about the wheels.. tesco are pretty good i have found over the last few years.
This is a very good and very important point. Insurance is risk based (frequency and severity) so your insurance company has to know exactly what they are dealing with, so you must tell them about anything that changes the specification of your car.
As an example, I phoned Greenlight today to tell them about my TIP and DogBone mounts, as well as 3 points I picked up not so long ago. They charged me..... nothing. Sod all
Didn't affect the policy premium one bit, but, had I not told them and it later came out that I had lied and not been honest (not acted in good faith, as insurance terms go) they would have had every right to refuse to pay out on a claim and could not only void my policy, but add my details to the CUE database, thus making it very hard and very expensive to get insurance from then on.
