you and me are in the same industry dude! cars use a different philosophy on tyre/wheel measurement. when it comes to cars you by a 17" inch rim and tyres to fit, or 18" inch rim with tyres to fit. it's the masses who say they've got 17" wheels because they're uneducated on the subject or just that they're terminology is wrong!

was just something i,d never thought about and to be honest it did surprise me :)
just shocked that an ebayer that doesnt know the difference between 5 and 7 could get a rim size right ;D
it is 17" i know but we,ll always call them 20s :daumenhoch:

no way that the postage will be 4.20 though.
