Lenny, I have done exactly this, the wheels are fitted with 215/45/17s, and according to my Road Angel, my speedo is now reading approximately 3 mph fast, so erring on the side of caution.

I'm in Farnham, Surrey next week, how far are you from there or M40, M4?
Price would depend on how big the dings are. as long as they are only small (I just missed an unused set at £260), so how does £200 sound?

Put a set of these on my MY99 with a set of 215/40 17 toyos, look much better than the original wheels and I got them very cheap and unused from a Subaru dealer who had sold a car and the owner wanted gold wheels
