    No real difference if bought separately. Different date wheels are machined slightly differently on the rim area.
    Early wheels had a square end profile on the spokes, later had a radius.

    Definitely un-machined, I've stripped a few ESP Snowies.

    I think all Snowies were cast in NZ. The cap sits flush on un-machined Snowies but sits proud on machined Snowies.

    All XE ESP rims were unmachined, as were ZL Sportsman.
    Maybe EA S Pack were unmachined as well, not fully sure on that.

    These are brilliant! I got some off the Wurth rep after I tested his sample one on a high tensile bolt with a rattle gun, just screwed the head off.

    I bought a full "re-trim", that included new strapping under the seats, new bolster foam where it was needed, full strip and fit of new cloth trim on both front and rear seats and new vinyl trim. I don't know what Ben charges per metre.

    I agree, they don't look great. But that's what they came with, so that's what people will want to put back on their resto project.

    No, you will need the original brackets to mount the bumper. These are normally thrown away when a tow bar is fitted.
