Yeah, I can do tomorrow when it's brighter.
I asked about that with my last set before my MOT
aparently, there is no standard, so you wont fail your MOT for 'em. Weird

not really the mot id be bothered about tbh, if it was just that id just shove the steelies back on for that.
it was the fact that i was told itd be 3 -4 points a wheel if stopped by the cops.

The standard is that they can't protrude from the wheel arch.

Would have been the rim was deeper to that can fit on a 206 if you get the correct wheels for the car, you wont have problems.. wheels can be made with all different varietys of offset, rim depth, Stud fitment etc...

That's weird. My previous set of alloys protruded from the wheel arch, and it passed the MOT with no problems. It was a reputable place too
