Type S Alloys

Hi guys,

Does anybody know what the rim width is of the standard 5 spoke Type S alloys? is it 7.5 or 8" ?

Cheers

I think nitin has an alert wired directly to his testicles so that whenever someone mentions Type S on the forum it goes off and he jumps straight on here! :lol:

Ah right, well the tyres on it currently are 205 / 45's and the side walls are parallel to the side of the alloy so I presumed they would also be 205mm wide. I take it that the measurements don't work like that then?
