Weighing them in would be my first suggestion, but since you have just dropped £400+ on them that option is probably not on your short list :eek:

£400+ seems a lot for wheels that don't fit and look crap ! :o

I've seen some wheels in the states and i'm thinking of letting these go, any sensible offers considered at the moment.
