Anyone have an idea as to the difference between RRC112191 (fitted as new on my March reg. 2004 Contemporary SE) and RRC112190 (both part numbers are suffixed XXX which appears to be a null on this type of item ie Meteor alloy wheel/finished machined/unpainted).
As far as I can see they are both identical with the same rim size ref. 7Jx17CH-50 but RRC112190 is manufacture date coded February 2003
Looking to buy a couple for full size spares

There's probably no physical difference in the items apart from the part number. Scouring the Rimmer Bros site, it's common to see part where an item is superseded with a new part no. ending in 1 instead of 0. It might be the result of a change of supplier, or if the wheel includes the centre cap, then the updated Rover badge for the later cars.

I'm not certain but the 2003 RRC112190 has 'Made in UK' cast into it whereas I think my '2004' Meteor (RRC112191) has 'Made in Italy' - I'll have a look in the am
