I too would be disappointed if I was paying for my preferred choice of wheels only to find that they were not the ones I had wanted.Indeed disappointed may have been a better choice of words, I didn't expect to be chastised over the use of my vocabulary

Not my intention which was to express surprise at the gutted/get a life reference in a previous post.

They are definately style 7s, the 6s are so much more lighter colour.

If only it was that easy... eye of the beholder and all that stuff, there's a reason the 7's cost extra
They look that much better.

Well, I've just received my first forum warning from a Moderator over my suggestion that RS should "get a life". This has taken some doing, especially as I published an internal LR memo about the supply situation last year which I would have thought would have lead to a severe spanking.
If I offended RS, or anyone, I apologise.
The point I was trying to make was that the choice of Style 6 or Style 7 wheels is not the be-all-and-end-all; you are not going to lose sleep over it, unlike getting the smoker's pack wrong which will have you tossing and turning for hours.
For me, I like my wheels to be clean and if I'm careless and scuff them, I like to be able to get them refurbished easily. The Style 7's are more difficult to refurbish because of the graded paint finish and there's a danger they will not match. I accept they may look great to some but not to these eyes.
