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

they look good on there bud, i didnt notice any buckles, having said that I never actually looked. is it shaking through the steering?

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.
