Does anyone know which part of the road trafic act they fall foul of, is it the fact that they stick out further than the wheel arches because those shinny, takky, beasties look like they are inside the tyre extremities.
They still make an expensive car look cheap though.

datalas:
sooty, I think they fall foul of the "good taste" clause... :)

then again, so should chequerplate door bottoms on the disco IMHO

Colin 009:
What even sadder is that around London, I've seen some very cheap an nasty cars wearing a wheel-cover version,  #-o

Not too sure, all I've read is that they're not legal via the Mot test regulations.
It was mentioned in 'Bike' magazine, so whether they've been judged on that factor (accident prevention?) I don't know.
Apparantly bikers (& cyclists- like me) watch for the wheels moving on cars in side-junctions & parking places, so perhaps they've caused crashes as the biker brakes to avoid a (supposedly) moving car & has been 'rear-ended'????


On good taste alone the ban should be enforced
