Standard Wheels? was created by Dino

We have bought a W reg Jimny for my son to drive.

We originally insured it with Tesco Black Box insurance, however they would not fit the 'box' as the car had been modified.

We have taken the side steps and bull bars off, however we do not know if the wheels are original or a modification.

The wheels fitted have 'Smiths Performance Alloy Wheels' written on them, with 205 / 70 R15 tyres.

Would anyone know if these were fitted on any variation around 2000?

thanks

Those wheels have tended to be aftermarket ones, personally I am 100% sure of it but I may be told differently.. Genuine Suzuki ones nearly always/always have Suzuki stamped on them

Curious to know how you get on with the black box method as I wonder if they look for examples of excuses to not give the discount.

My mate recently bought a VW Up! for his daughter, first car, and they wouldn't fit the box because my mate had changed the 'spacesaver' spare for a full sized one, a genuine VW product....not that THAT made any difference :sick:

So it looks like they ARE actually looking for excuses. :angry:
