You could make an adaptor and fit VW toureg wheels but they are NOT weight rated and it looks like wheels will become part of the MOT soon :(

Captain there's a lot of talk on other forums about wheels coming into the MOT, I don't think anything is set in stone yet so we'll just have to wait and see. :? :?

But warped/damaged rims are already covered in the MOT aren't they? Let alone the tyres. I had to change a wheel once, for being damaged, they just said it could deflate while travelling!
