Just fitted my newly acquired Oz wheel (Thanks Steve) to the 400 to replace one with a small rim kink that it's had since I got the car. All my vibes are now banished! Woohoo! Only took me 8 years, mind you!

Means I now have a 15inch Oz split rim spare for refurbing!

Nice one Andy. As for the spare for refurbing - I'd keep on to it if I were you.
You never know when you'll need one.

That's gonna restrict your tyre choice. One rim 16" and the other 15"....

The only one I could find on flea bay was for a T400R race car (as in recent Le Mans stuff)
