I seem to be forever chasing Weller, rang again today....their MD says if I send them the rims (at my cost - I can accept that) they will take a look & see if anything can be done to the pins.
They seem to feel that this is kind of them as the rims are out of warranty/I am not the original purchaser, etc.
Personally I think they are being very short sighted in terms of customer/public relations, standing by your product, etc, etc.
The fact is that they have obviously made & sold several wheels in the past few years that are not usable if you want to have your hubcaps on!
If it was my company I'd be very embarrassed, apologising profusely & rectifying it whatever it takes, but perhaps that's just my view of things & I am wrong.
The cost of having the tyres removed, 2-way carriage, tyres refitted & rebalanced (not to mention the possible spoiling of the black paint job) will be a "budget buster" so I am considering carefully what to do.
Right now I am rather p**ssed at Weller & would certainly not recommend them as a company.
Some pics which show the prod. date & the fact that the buttons are quite obviously too far spaced for the Minor hubcap.
