Krzys Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 At least you got the core parts to improving the handling out of it if nothing else, not a complete loss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 At least you got the core parts to improving the handling out of it if nothing else, not a complete loss! True and the wheels you have are very nice in an oem+ way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamestopdog Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yes mate nice one. I did do loads of research but hot as much info on the web on our models with fitment issues. What did you do with the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I know but i like modding cars that no one really does! I sent the wheels back to Rota...unfortunately the knuckle dragging bell end of a tyre fitter managed two chips on the lip and they were marks from the tyre valve on the alloy. Coupled with me scratching the wheel nut eyes with x2 nuts, it made me sweat all last week wondering if they would only take back x3 wheels, or charge me for x1. I was panicking as they could just have returned the lot to me as one was damaged! Fortunatley got word back today that Rota are only charging me £50 to repair the wheel..which i thought was decent of them! Todays lesson....TAKE CARE WHEN TEST FITTING WHEELS AND GET HUMANOID TO PUT A TYRE ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
