Interesting this. My car came with four wheels.....obviously... But I noticed that 2 of them had a band on the inside edge, the other 2 didnt. When I got a nice set of stainless wheel trims I noticed that they had a nice tight fit on the wheel with the band and tended to slip off the other two. Not a problem as the guy I bought the car off also gave me an extra set of four wheels with knobbly tyres, and he said they apparently did a rally in South America on some car....who knows, but a good story nonetheless. These four wheels all have the band and are labelled as 4.5". I thought these were standard saloon wheels, now it looks like I have a set of estate wheels. Is this right? They are very soon to get resprayed and a nice set of Vrdestein classic sprints put on. I plan to use this set from now on.

Here they are ready to go off to be sprayed:
