I wouldn't tell them. How are you not suppose to know that they are not standard, not like they are 18s!

yeah i got asked that question an u should av said they are the vehicle manufacters spec alloys, an i don't think that'll put it up. Mine went up £100 for a whole years insurance when i put mine on. They didn't ask me how much they cost or what size they were or anythin, just whether they had lockin nuts on.

yer the stupid thing is he didn't care what alloys they were at all. Didn't even take note of size or make. Does that mean if they get stolen i could claim i had 18'' chromes!
