Looking at my front wheels i can see that they have rounded off a bit at the edges but the rears look in very good nick. Everything is aligned and balanced, tyre pressures are ok, so i can only assume it is due to the 4WD pushing round corners. I have 4 identical alloys so can i swap the fronts for ...
