How about those trims that Vx have brought out with the new range, they look like alloys, are held on by the wheel nuts (anti-theft), they're made of plastic and they cost about £16.00 each IIRC. I'll have a dig about and see if I can find the article on it.

I can see that the trims are very well priced at £16 each but I wonder how much Vxl charge for the actual steel wheel that they fit on....??

i phoned up for a replacement steel wheel for a ka recently, ok its 13" and not 15/16 but i was surprised at the £22 price tag - i thought that was a bargain
