Apparently the deal is that the wheel supplier had issues supplying the matt black wheels so they were discontinued Most of the models with these wheels went to the USA Bare metal wheels are now standard across the range for all countries Cheers Vv

I seem to get my mods done after a mechanical failure (had wheels powder coated when I had sump-plate replaced) or during repairs after I crashed (had a few extra bits and pieces coated then) .. not suggesting you employ my methods though
