Does anyone know of any "genuine" insurance issues and warranty issues with 22" wheels??
I`ve read a few stories on the net with this type of wheel collapsing?????

It's not necessarily to do with the fact they're 22s - more that some "cheap" replicas have not been manufactured to the correct load rating to support nearly 3t of metal. It should be noted that this hasn't happened loads of times but the risk is there.

Yeah thats how I saw it.
The laquer finish is my only concern a little chip and will spread like mad I think.
Look pretty easy to touch up tho.....like I say I`ll keep everyone interested posted.
The car has less shakes on the steering wheel that my 20" genuine even after having those balanced 3 times at the dealer. They have Pirelli tyres on. Blick with blick windows, big wheels, tow bar for nickin, side steps for the tart, DVD screens for on the go porn, 22" Stormers black and polished... as a matter of fact just about every box ticked.....if I`m going down I`m going down BIG time. ))

I am a keen valeter maybe that will help alittle.
Perhaps I should have kept the 20`s on till the summer??

Am I right in thinking 4 psi more than 20`s??

Should be on the sticker inside the driver's door sill....

I think it's 33 front / 36 rear from memory.

Does it? That seems high....

Just done a quick search for previous posts and it seems that in the past the figures on the door sill were lower. The wheel/tyre combos haven't changed over the past couple of years to affect the pressures I wouldn't have thought. But if that's what it says.... therefore the 22 pressures in your other question will be higher
