For a pink slip (yearly rego check) in NSW, you DONT need your factory wheels on.

But yes, some inspectors can be very anal about things

agree with the lot and the bit about the inspector is the best way ive heard it put

I have just been through the tyre issue with my insurers. Insurance is null and void if the tyres you have fitted have a rating less than those on the tyre placard.

Ooh, that's a bit nasty; it used to be illegal to run lower-rated tyres, but they stopped that foolishness a few years ago. You'd think the insurance companies would keep up (frankly, I don't see the point of 250km/h rated tyres on a road car in Australia; they apparently don't perform as well at 110km/h as, say, a 180km/h rated tyre in the same performance & price category).
