I have them on my Vectra. Saves a fortune in replacing wheel trims!

Thanks for the replies - I think! Ali T, I have no idea what that means!

Blackpool: Don't like the ones on that bling site - plus the site's out of date anyway. As for the LTC site, I can't find any 'proper' pics of them; only the little icon you click to add them when choosing 'extras' as you build the taxi. Does anyone know of full size pictures?

Word of warning: If you fit non-factory fit alloys, you must tell your insurers.

what i mean is
for edinburgh anyway is the test is strict if you had chips/scuffs on alloys you may have to look at replacing them,and thats gonna cost you.

Thanks Ali T, Gotcha! I try not to cross the invisible line between confidence & complacency, and without wanting to look cocky, I always keep my wheels away from kerbs - hence why I don't need cable ties on my trims (which the service centres used to keep putting on each time!).

Cabbyman; Thanks, I know, but these will be alloys from the factory - if I can get them! And I would of course tell my insurers anyway.

Still trying to see photos of them though...

They don't look too bad considering the need to have the hub sticking out. I wonder if they'll fit my 97 Fairway...
