My alloys have finnally arrived but something looks well dodgy, i thought the first thing i check was the offset, so i looked at the back of the wheel o find it had ET but then what looked like to be 37 sanded down and 45 stamped over it, this dont seem right to me, what should i do, how will i know for deffinate what offset they are???

Please help!!!

Nothing wrong with machined wheels i dont think. In fact some times its the only way u can get the rim u want to fit right as they might only come from the manafacturer in non compatible offsets. If you dont lik the style of ya rims you could try n use it as an excuse to change em. Not sure how u wil get on tho!
Good luck, D

all wheels are machined mate.

Alloys are just a mould then the pcd, offset are machined afterwards. Dont worry about it mate. they are fine.

Cheers all for putting my mind to rest!
