Yup,
As the title suggests, a strange story.
In February of 2004 we took delivery of this car and in the first three years we had all four wheels replaced under warranty, not once but twice and all because of that horrible furry wheel corrosion. Unfortunately for us, after the three year warranty expired that was the end of getting any free replacements and by 2010..... I could stand it no more, this third set of wheels were really looking ugly, so.......
I found a site on the Internet that were selling brand new 211 Avantgarde wheels that they were importing from Germany. In for a penny, in for a pound, we bought four of these wheels and yup, they were as described, the identical wheels to those on our car. Off with the old, on with the new and now TEN years later, those wheels are as pristine as the day we purchased them???
Now I may be daft, I may be silly but how? why? Yes these wheels were imported from Germany, but surely the wheels on our S211 were imported from Germany?
