>> Hello Rovernetters
>>
>> I have had a freshly powedercoated set of SD1 alloys fitted to my P6B.
>> They
>> are light grey and look stunning. The only problem is that they are a
>> tight
>> fit over the caps that cover the front wheel bearings. In fact the caps
>> have
>> prevented the wheels from completely centering [maybe 1-1.5 mm off
>> centre]
>> and I have some wheel shudder. My tyre man is going to look at the
>> wheels
>> again in the morning, and we have discussed two possible solutions:
>>
>> [1] File the edge of the bearing caps to reduce the size of the flange
>> that
>> sticks out to impede the wheel going on.
>>
>> [2] Have a machine shop take a tiny amount out of the centre of the new
>> alloys.
>>
>> Has any other intrepid P6 owner with SD1 wheels had this experience? I
>> would value input. [This is the inscrutable Australian way of saying
>> "help"].
>>
>> Kind regards
