And since you've read how to post pics why the hell don't you post some of your Swift? Especially since you've bugged so many of us for advice on it's Alloys, Tyres & Audio?

Busa Ji, thanks for the 'post pics' link

Here's the new alloy wheel photo -

I was actually looking black ones - that make the car look 'angry'. But these dark grey ones were the closest. Because of its special 'PCD', no alloy wheel dealer had more than 2 or 3 designs for the Optra. This was the best of the lot.

Sweet alloys smartcat, which tyres are the on?

Thanks! These alloys are supposed to be 'anti-theft'. My neighbour had parked his Tata Mobile outside the compound - somebody flicked the front wheel.

These alloys require a special allen key to remove the plastic cap. Only after that is removed, you can see the wheel nuts. Hopefully, our local wheels thief doesn't carry around an allen key with him!
