They most definately are 17", other wise the air in the 215 45 17's would fall out
Yes it is a sticker on the back. One of the ones off here.
I still have the original one, but I prefer this instead.

Hmmm .... I'm not sure to be honest. If you're happy then great.
If it's the tyres you were after, how about going down to a tyre shop, giving them a tenner to swap the tyres over to your standard alloys, then selling the new rims ?

to be honest, it does 900 miles a week, the wheels are spinning more than they are stationary these days.
I always felt that the MK2 wheels were a cost down on the MK1's, and Rover wnated to save time on assembly at longbridge, the coating quality on the mk2 rims is now as good as the spec BMW rolled out when they were there.
But it's each tio their own I suppose

I think that if I were to keep the MK2's (and its possible if they don't sell)
I'd have a slightly darker coating than standard done at the refurber's

PM sent to Mr. Lazaroo!
Please reply.
Definitely interested - I understand if I'm not at the front of any queue.
All the best with the sale anyways,
Gary.
