No problems with ride & a lot better than the run flats.

As for the wheels themselves Caveat Emptor

Not good quality?

What do people do in terms of a spare/contingency when ditching run flats?

I like the finish of these reps over OEM, more glossy!

You also saw the good side of my car, the other side the rims are battered from being squeezed by an arctic lorry. Was too late to get on the kerb!!

As for not having run flats, few bottles of slime & small compressor.

The 405M's are cheap for a reason.
Only had them on the car for 3 months & then had the black wheels.

Ah, I thought you meant the VFs.

Looks stunning.

I'm due to collect a GC in CB in a few days and I can see it looking like yours with 2 extra doors!

The wheels are these

http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/product_info.php/new-zito-zs05-alloys-matt-black-with-deeper-concave-rear-p-4904?cPath=51_23_175_200_208&osCsid=jse9uv29vnat0d onfsi723iqt7

Always washed the car myself & use auto finesse products on the car. Never used a wheel cleaner just a fresh bucket of the same shampoo I use on the car paint work. So can't see it being a chemical reaction

No, as I already had the tyres from the 405M's
However, I believe they do some very competitive packages
