The dealer totally screwed over my winter wheels. They were being stored in their wheel depot and they took them out to balance them and I could have just cried. They look 10 years old, seems people have been chucking them around on concrete. Big chunks of alloy are missing. I'm very very p***ed off...
Anyway - they have until tomorrow to offer me a new set or give me the money that I payed for them. Only that will perhaps ensure that they keep my business.
Anyway - my winter 235/40 tires are fine. But they were mounted on the 8x19" wheels. I have my summer 9x19 inchers - do you guys think the tires will fit without problems? 235mm of tire vs. 228mm of wheel - seems ok?
I'm planning to put them on my 9x19s, designate them for winter work and get a new set of wheels for the summer.
Suggestions welcome. :)
(I've been toying around with the idea of getting Techart 8.5x19 for next winter instead. Any ideas if they will fit with a proper adapter?)

19" wheels are compulsory for me - ceramic brakes won't accept 18".
