I sent them off just before the Christmas shut down, and I got a message on Friday to say they'd found problems...

Basically they had been spaced out before I bought them, to suit wider discs. But the spacers only had a seal on one side, so chances are they would have leaked when fitted to the car. Unfortunately the recess on one side of the spacer is too deep top allow another to be machined on the other side, so 20-odd quid on a set of new spacers and seals :( But at least (hopefully) peace of mind.

They sent me a couple of photos:

Got them back today and although I'm trying to be objective (obviously I want to be pleased with them having spent lots of dosh) I'd have to say they are flawless - visually at least. So long as they perform as good as they look then I have no complaints at all.
