Depends who your with mate, some will and maybe charge extra some might but not add any extra, best off giving them a quick call and saying your thinking of putting them on would it affect my policy,

Who are you with?

Yes. As I found out a few weeks back. Bought Monza IIs off a certain rim king, and they're a straight swap.

RE: insurance - if it's different from factory-fit, it's modified, and therefore they need to be aware of it. You could buy a second-hand car from a dealer with some goodies. If the dealer fitted those goodies, it's been modified - even if you thought it was standard or "the way the car came when I bought it".

^^^So you need to check with your insurance how much extra it is before committing to buy the rims.
