Yep, rang them almost as soon as Dougie posted the info, the sales lass wasn't even aware of it at the time. laugh

Give WP a call if you want some, I think they have a few surplus sets !!
Won't be until next year - I'm fully spent up this year!
I have noticed that they do mark easily, I have gotten a few stone chips on them lately frown
Are these the SV wheels on special at Walkies?

Yes, the paint seems to be very soft on them, not sure if it's because of the matt finish they have, but to be fair, mine are 3 years old now !

Just to add, the wheels aren't on a special as such, I just believe they have a few more sets sitting around than they would like so a deal may be had.

I did consider mentioning that I'd do that. I guess the wait just increases the excitement for when I do get my hands on it.

It's been spotted.

As the lad who spotted it lives near Burton On Trent, I'm guessing it's with the dealer now???


eta: Just a thought, but they're not fobbing you off until next week, so that they can save a month's road tax, are they? scratchchin

Interesting I wonder if the dealer principal fancied it for the weekend.

Very wrong if that's the case. Shame you didn't pick up on my previous post earlier. I feel they may need to offer a free service, or golf day to sweeten the deal now. wink
