Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
I have an 08 Mondeo as a company car which my wife uses 99% of the time.
Leading evidence: 'Use 99% of the time' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use 99% of the time' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Never seen these before!
They seems to be plastic or rubber, and fit between the Tire and the wheel, perfect for women parkers! ;-)
Anyone know anything about them?
Seemn on a blue 996 in Fulham, London
Cheers for the link, interesting
They looked ok, I did not immediately notice from afar but suddenly thought "something looks different as got closer"!
They stick out a bit, and these looked a bit wonky!
I've seen those advertised too - great idea for the more ham-fisted amongst us! I'd buy the silver coloured ones though - it looks as though you have an 18 1/2" wheel then!

I can think of a few ladies that may receive some useful Christmas presents this year, they'll be thrilled I'm sure. And who said romance was dead :whiteangel:
Brave maybe, but it's the truth... I have an 08 Mondeo as a company car which my wife uses 99% of the time. It once had lovely, shiney 18" alloys... now they are completely and utterly shagged... not simply kerbed, but big chunks missing halfway up the spokes :nooo:
I cringe everytime she takes the Porsche!
Re: New "Women Friendly" Alloy Wheels spotted on t
I heard that to fit them requires use of a mallet and they get hammered onto the rim. I would say that the last thing you want to do is be hammering something onto your alloys as it is highly likely to damage the surface.
They look pretty good to me. They seem to be a plastic moulding which, as Chris says, is pressed on to the rim after the tyre pressure has been released. I don't think there is much danger of any damage being done to the rim as the rubber mallet is merely used to force the moulding apart to get one side inside the tyre edge.
There is a
video
on Youtube showing the process.

cars should come with an option to have say 14" steal wheels and tyre profile no less than 65 section. This could be specified by whomsoever is paying for the car, irrespective of the registered keeper.
I'm sure this would significantly contribute to global levels of marrital harmony.

PS - One would have thought it impossible to kerb the alloys on say a Land Rover, right? Think again. I know someone who can do it without even blinking...
