Yes - black nuts
Got 4 today and 16 more nuts coming on Wednesday.
Not overly bothered about the centre caps, but just want to finish the wheels off.
Thanks for the faux offer though

rogue, just seen the pics in your gallery. How did the wheels fit, those brake calipers look close but it's difficult to tell from the pic. Any pics of the car with the wheels on??

DSL - no pictures im afraid - cuz they don't fit
The rear fit OK, but the front do foul the caliper. Got the left front on last night but it won't go round.
Did push the car forward 6 inches, but they fouled and made a 'orrible noise.
This is the damage that it did

look for the bright silver patches (two) on the caliper.
Good thing the cars booked into the dealer tomorrow - will get them to check it out.
So i need to arrange a swapout of wheels...

That's a shame, at least we now know that these older FFRR wheels definitely won't fit. Good luck getting shot of them.

Rogue,
Could you get some spacers to make them fit - is it just the offset that is slightly smaller?
Cheers

Hmm - did think about spacers TBH, but i'd rather go with the proper thing i.e 19 inch that fit.
Last thing i want is a wheel coming off as i pucker up down Geronimo
cheers

I'm looking at these on ebay and so long as they don't got too high i'll have a punt in a day or so
to replace the non fitting FFRR i have in my garage and the 17 inch that i was going to get shod with Coopers that are currently in my back garden might as well go for the full set - anybody got any 18 inch they don't want that i can keep in the kitchen (my missus thinks i am 'in nuts)
