I Wonder- Please Explain Anchs

Crackin choice of wheels Don, they blend in colour wise so well.Are they 18,s and do they still fitt 18,s to the SR.To go on to a point I made the other day. If you look on the Used section of the Toyota UK website and tap in Rav 4, it is amazing how many very, very low mileage Rav,s are for sale at the Dealers.

Very very nice Don,i'm not jealous at all

Wheels and tyres look great.

Can you use winter tyres then on normal road conditions,no snow or ice.I thought they wore down quicker.??

Winter Tyres are more a temperature adapting thing, Paul, rather than just snow and ice aids.

Got my winter wheels on now ... Been below zero every night in November so far :(

Dons Winter wheels there are 17" (looked at tyre markings ;) ) but interesting enough the centre caps are identical in appearance to the 18" T/SR caps which surprises me unless they are OEM copies?

Just been reading about it on the Toyota site.

As Dave says, they are 17s. I checked with Toyota Insurance and they are fine with it. It is effectively the same spec as an XT-R auto.

unless they are OEM copies?

Not copies Dave, the real thing. They are genuine Toyota rims and came with the caps. The wheels and tyres were far from cheap!

If you find yourself up this way, call in and have a drive.

Ah, that explains it. I bet they were not cheap - wheels look really good :)

On the topic of OEM vs Copies, I have the OEM wheels that came with my SR, obviously, and I have the Italian copies of the T180 wheels for my winter wheels and when I examined the copies last week before refurbishing them (water damage under lacquer) I found that the amount of little nibs and lumps on the spokes were quite significant (about 2 per wheel) and would have been there from new, whereas the OEM wheels had none at all, so definetly one up for Toyota

OK Don,well if we ever go up that again i will let you know and call in,its been nearly twelve months since we visited her brother last,but a trip to Buxton would be a nice drive out.

Most welcome Paul.

Here is the said new vehicle. It is this colour to totally baffle the folks in Kevs street when we visit.

It was actually going dark (the side lights are on) so not such a brilliant photo.

She looks a lovely motor Don, especially in Summer spec
