You should point out that aftermarket wheels can invalidate insurance policies.
Is it worthwhile pointing out that fitting any non-manufacturer approved aftermarket wheels, even if to the same dimensions as factory fit, (not to mention fat exhausts, body kit, etc.) if not declared might invalidate insurance or attract an increased premium?
I write from personal experience, and I am sorry if this is bad news for the "tuning and custom" trade, but I feel they should be bound to advise customers accordingly.
