The roads have taken their toll on my one of my wheels, which is sadly no longer round.

Can anyone tell me what wheels these are - do they have a name, or a part number, or a style? Would much rather buy one than have to invest in a whole new matching set.

Most seem to be diamond cut by the looks of it but there are normal alloys on ebay

Far easier to get it pushed back into shape. Any half decent wheel refurbisher should be able to do, approx £60-70 plus vat in cost.

Interesting, thank you. I wasn't aware this was a thing, Google suggests there are a few places near me which would do it.

They are 442M. Originally ferric grey inner with a diamond cut surface. I had mine powder coated, I still have my staggered set in the shed, after I dropped to 18"

Thank you, that is great. Why did you go to 18 inch? Is the ride any better with more sidewall?

Yes, it is much better. I have kept runflats, because for me they are not that bad. With my brake sizes 18" is the smallest wheel

As Pica said; 442Ms - full specs here: https://www.auto-treff.com/wcf/index.php?article/4...

Drop to 18s with non RFTs or RFTs (your choice); my recommendation would be non RFTs for a much better ride (comfier, smoother etc)



They're 397s - 18x8 all round with 235/45/18 Goodyear Vector Gen3 all season tyres
