That looks brilliant, looking forward to seeing those fitted.
Though I have steelies from an LCV, I have kept my SZ5 alloys. I like the of bothe sets equally, but hate chipping alloys.

I took the alloys to have tyres fitted. They are struggling with them - apparently the ratio of tyre weight to wheel weight is so high that a lot of balancing weights are needed. I expect this with cheap tyres, which tend to be heavy and non-uniform, but not with Bridgestones! They are talking about 300g of weights per wheel, when 100g is normally considered the "forget it" point.
Update: they've given up. They can static balance them, but that's no good at 70mph when the wheel is shimmying around the kingpin. Will have to call etyres on Monday. There is a really good local fitter who has always balanced things perfectly for me, but I shouldn't have to pay twice.
