Been doing a bit of research into picking up a set of 17" alloys to replace my existing steels. However, insuring the thing has turned into a bit of a problem. I've been told that unless the new alloys 'fall within the manufacturer specification' the vehicle will not be covered. I'm tempted to go ahead and buy anyway, but then again I pay a hell of a lot for my insurance, and to drive around knowing I'm paying all of that out for my car to not 'really' be covered would get to me after a while.
Advice?

Re: Alloys and insurance
Just buy some nice looking OEM wheels. What car do you drive?
Re: Alloys and insurance
Polo 9n (2003 3dr)
By all means please give me some alternatives to take a look at. I'm intrigued...how many 'OEM' alloys are there?
Thanks

Re: Alloys and insurance
Hundreds. Think Golf and Bora and possibly Audi range. Get em on the cheap then get some low profile tyres on.
Re: Alloys and insurance
Hang on a sec, so what what exactly does 'manufacturer spec' mean? I thought it would be only alloys that would be sold by VW specifically for the Polo.
