Replacement wheels for current owners
Discussion
Presumably thats for a set? If so very impressed that you've responded to the feedback as its things like this that put me off ownership, so thats another excuse gone.
Are you going to respond to the uncomfy seats comment in the autocar article too?

Uncomfortable, rubbish! I drove all the way from Cambridge to Fort William, stopping only for Petrol and didn't have any back, leg, arm or body ache at all. The journo was probably a 22 stone biffer with a pie problem and the large Ginsters stuck in his pocket just kept digging into his ribs!
Of course I could be wrong
My opinion of the review was that they tried to find things wrong with the car but struggled, so started nit-picking!

Can't you change to the new ones, or has the pattern changed?
As to the seats, I wasn't impressed with them either and I'm of not overweight in the slightest. They just lack padding and feel a bit plank like imho
Would much prefer to transplant some S2 Elise seats in (although mine have had extra padding inserted to be fair) <VBG>I like the seats - if I were to change them to anything it would be the 340R type seats that come round your shoulders a bit more.
The only time I get a numb ar$e is when the seat padding is completey removed for trackdays (so I can fit in with a helmet on).
The only gripe I have with the seats is that I wish the slots for the harnesses were wider. My seat is as far back as it can go so the metal bracket for the harness comes through the seat slightly. This means that I cannot change to 3" belts which would be my preference as the mounting bracket for a 3" belt is wider than the hole in the seat.

Micknall would be the first to confirm that the average weight of the Autocar staffer is well above the national average, and that our Road Test editor frequently eats "for two."
On this occasion though the road tester concerned was probably our lightest and smallest member of staff. Just one of those personal things I guess - I drove the car on the same day and found it just fine, but then I have sufficient posterial padding of my own ;-)

Leave our posterior quoitent out of it please! 
I'm not sure that "comfy" would be a criteria were I choosing a Noble. An X5 should be comfy, an S600 should be comfy and a Range Rover IMHO, has the comfiest seats currently available. A noble though - whenever I've been in one I've just been enjoying the whole thing far too much to worry about feeling comfy. Is it something that you actually worry about, as an owner?
