I told them I had alloys when I got first got the ONE and that they were not the standard steel wheels, they said the alloys I have now are covered (as they came from the factory) but if I was to put S spokes on, they would charge me for it. I just don't get it. Should I just put the S Spokes on, and have them think the car had 17's when it first came out of the factory? or can they find things like this out, e.g. through the dealers?

Many thanks

Ideally, yes... but they might cotton on considering you've just asked to change them to 17's

They put down all conversations on your record I believe
