Just picked up the cerbera and noticed that one of the alloys on the back has the larger offset ( same as a tuscan rear) :(

I know that the dealer was given two extra with the car and swapped them out as two on the car were slightly marked.

However, the tyre scrubs against the wheelarch when my very light daughter sits in the back.....

I know that the dealer has given away the old wheels....

What shall I do?
a) Can the offset be reduced to match the original
b) buy a new wheel - sell the old?
c) swap with someone who has a tuscan front?
d) buy another car so that the daughters do not need to go in it!

Other than that - the car is wonderful!
Must remember not too stall it - the M3 SMG has a lot to answer for!

Should be able to sort you out by way of a new wheel.

Failing that, I need a new rear and a new front for my Tuscan, so if you are going to sell the rear cheaply I would be interested!

Absolutely; that's disgraceful behaviour from the dealer and your car is no longer fit for the purpose for which it was sold. Ignor guarantees and stand by consumer protection legislation.

Tell the dealer to sort and to ship you the proper wheel now! What about the tyre - are the correct sizes fitted!?

I got a spare tuscan rear with a pretty new toyo on it if you want it. Wheel is fine but could do with a refurb. Make me an offer!

No more smell of tyre rubbing on the wheelarch after a dip in the road
