I stand corrected. However are you sure that the 5.5J wheels aren't TUV approved? Virtually every German Amazon that I have seen pics of seems to have wider steels, and is also on their 'H' plates, which denote that it is (supposedly...) unmodified. Or is this just a case of the TUV testers not knowing? Also, there appear to be quite a few 5.5J wheels out there which are not banded (or claimed not banded). What are their origins?

Estate & 1800 wheels are indeed not the same - according to an 1800 guru, the contour of the wheel rim sections are also slightly different, something to do with an extra ridge for holding wheel trim rings?

PS - how much are the chrome seat recliner brackets on your website?
