    Here they are!
    they look well, and the volvo caps just squeezed in!
    the down side is one has a buckle and its either that or the muppet at quik fit not balenced it properly, taken the smooth ride away
    so will probably still be looking for another set

    A small buckle, id imagine you mean a little kink in the outer or inner edge?

    Unless its serious and all the way through, I doubt you would feel this.

    It will most likely be bad wheel balancing, take it back and get them to re-check it

    yer its one on the front its had a bash on the inside unusual i know!
    only really stuck ou while he was balanceing it i noticed the woblbe,
    as i used to do that sort of work for abit i have a keen eye for it!
    but its shaking at what i think is 70 and then 90 (no speedo at current)
    No that i go over any speed limits on the road!
    so i do think its the balancing really, he put the weights on then took the wheel off, he didnt spin it again to make sure it was right.
    I shall take them somewhere else, loads of berks in there.
