General Car Chat / Re: Alloy wheels & insurance ?

« on: 08 April 2018, 16:05:45 »

The different diameter of the wheel will cause the speedometer to be slightly out, so I doubt you'd get away with 'optional extra'. It's your choice really, pay the money or take a chance.
People on here put alloys from different models on their cars, so I guess they'd be better placed to advise.

I thought the differing tyre profile compensated for that  as in 16's have a 55 profile on omegas & the 17's have a 45 profile , making the outer circumference much the same .   

Also as when  18" imscher wheels are fitted , tyres  have a 40 profile .  .I  think

General Car Chat / Alloy wheels & insurance ?

« on: 08 April 2018, 15:40:45 »

My CDX is now fitted with late Elite/MV6 VX  6 spoke 17" alloys instead of the 16" CDX alloys it came with.

Insurance quote is asking are the wheels "Non Standard"  or "Optional Extra" ?

I am guessing to be totally honest these wheels are in fact "Non Standard" to this car , but this increases the quote by over £200 to nearly £600 

Quote as "optional extra" & quote stays the same as a standard car   

Any thoughts ?
