Yes used them recently, excellent for the money. They can fit tyres for you too, for a bit extra. Turnaround is about a week but apparently do a sameday service for £45 each.
Generally more resistant to chip damage from what I've seen. If you're only using on the road, I would think they'll be okay. It's usually top track pads that give off lots of dust (or VERY cheap road pads)
45s are factory size, so what they decided was the best overall compromise. Should give similar overall rolling radius to what you have. They'll look better too.
Haven't got a clue on insurance. I think if they are still Renault alloys it doesn't change much. If just for road use then 195s. Just to make sure you know that if you have steels on now, then you will probably need new tapered bolts, as steels usually have radiused ones.
OP Can you compare your wheel arch gap now with your wheels compared to how OE wheels sit? Might give you a rough idea, otherwise you're going to have measure them.
That's "A breaktime special" or built on a Friday. I bet the lunchtime buzzer went half way through Jean-Pierre's process.
Edit: just read it's on two cars - bet they ran out and were supposed to catch it back....and forgot.
Looks really nice but I agree on the wheels, they just don't look right. 1.2s are the best by far on PB. The only clean part on mine are the wheels, as they're newly fitted tonight.
Bit of a grey area, the discs "should" have a minimum of 7mm but if they are still working as they should, then they would probably still pass an MOT. All down to the tester really, you would probably just get an advisory. I would probably get them changed but not at that price!!
You could try twisting his words.
"I thought I was buying the car to break myself"
"If I only wanted to buy parts, I'd have offered him 4p for the wheels"
"Thought it was the whole car! I wouldn't pay £40 delivery for a wing mirror!"
