Alloy wheels

[andyj]

All OEM alloys are radius seated, and the majority of after-market allys are tapered seated, so Stu's new wheels will use the same bolts as his original ones

As the new alloys are genuine SEAT ones, the bolts are the same.

Very nice. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Have you changed the front grill as well

 

[mcdonald]

These new alloy wheels look really great!

 

[Stupra]

Thyper,


Very observant!! Yes front grille is from the Seat accessories book too. I put the chrome boot trim on & the gloss glack steering wheel too. Thats very nice, much nicer to hold than the standard wheel. Dealer fitted it for £60, bout an hour.

Well, got my new tyres from my local garage. When I gets them home, I washes & polishes them, ready to sell. Its then I notice the balance weights are the originals, and not one new set to be seen on any of the 4 rims. I rings the garage. They called me back after talking to the "technican" (!) who did the job. I was asured they had balanced them, and were "spot on". Now, call me a old cynic, but I took the wheels to the garage that fitted the tyres to my new rims. Lo & behold, all 4 needed balancing. Funny that eh! So, a "recall for new tyres" means just that, nothing else.

Feel an e-mail to said garage with a scanned copy of the invoice I got for evidence will be heading to garage very soon....
