depends who you are with and if you have any other mods already.

Better ring them before you part with the hard-earned, as it can be an unpleasant surprise.

I thought insurance only increased if the rolling diameter changed. i.e. 185/65/15 is same rolling diameter as 205/40/17 so its only a cosmetic mod, hence no increase.

?? Not sure though ??

When I had a Focus, I went from standard steel wheels to 18inch alloys. They didn't ask the size or make, they just listed them as non-standard alloys.

The premium increase was about £30.00 if I remember.

(That was with Elephant.co.uk by-the-way)
