thankyou

Be honest I thought you were having Gray on with that comment, didn't think you meant it lol. Casting tolerances I'm guessing then? Or the silver paint is 1.6kg heavier lol

mind you all that cracking lacquer must be heavy mind

if it's any consequence at all the ebay set have gone to a good home i promise

NO!! the white paint is lighter

because of that you have white alloys, you know where so save the height

yes, some little % of Mg

so did I, doesn't make sense as to why they did that but hey you live and learn.

To be fair though as Flapper said, the wheel has never turned in anger and it's been on the car in a garage and is still peeling, by the time that is finished it'll be lighter than the white.
