Overfinch Tiger Replicas Refurb

Advice required from the "Hive Mind"
My FFFRR has a set of 22 Tiger Replica alloys which are in need of refurbishment....


Are the small bolts on the spokes removable/replaceable/refurshishable (if that's a word ?) Current: Supercharged 06 FFRR in Java Black

Hi Stew...not the answer you want to hear but Angel is right.

The FF is a heavy beast and only factory alloys ( and some top end manufacturerers such as hawke , overfinch ect) have the right weight capacity, so fitting replicas could lead to an issue if you have an accident insurance wise.

I wondered how long it would take the naysayers to pop up when I posted this question.... Rolling Eyes
The car has managed to not crash, kill anyone or have any catastrophe occur with the wheels on it for the last 8 years according to the paperwork.... Current: Supercharged 06 FFRR in Java Black

Stew..fair comment Rolling Eyes .but if the worst should ever happen, you could find yourself without insurance cover if an over zealous vehicle engineer or insurance assessor spots the non standard wheels. GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

I got my Rangie with similar 22 replicas. They were refurbed too. Looked great. I think it's typically £80 a rim. ( price depends on sizes, and inspection. They Drove ok, but then I got a slow puncture. And then a fast one. Both front rims, had cracks. Three on one and four on another. They were sold on. Basically for their newish tyres. I went to original SC 20 inch wheels, and the drive was so much better. But... I then returned to the tiger, this time I got a set of new genuine 20 inch tigers, and fitted them with oversize tyres. They still drive good. And look good too. I know I drive it carefully. But, you have think about your family in the car, and hitting a pothole on say a triple carriageway, and the wheel completely collapsing, and how your insurer, looks to close your file, and not pay out.
If you look for genuine rims secondhand, at least ignore all wheels with standard centre caps. All 'finch wheels, have a larger hole, and the caps are hard to replace too.
Sometimes, it's best to just move on old rims, and fit a set, already with tyres.
If you aerosol spray them, they are very difficult to keep clean. You need a decent thick lacquer finish.
