they were your proir to the purchase and they didnt give you a discount on the new ones for the old wheels, so why should they keep them!

They are your property, unless trading them in for the new mags was part of the deal ask for them back.

They are yours unless it was part of the deal, regardless of who it is.

Go get them back, Hopefully they aren't in the local scrap metal and 50 bucks in the car shops hand by now. Thats why they keep em lol. I find it bloody rude how i often have to ask for parts back before they hand em over, they just assume they can have them otherwise.

Dbells-its the whole assumption is the mother of all 4343ups siuation. Some companies do a deal on the basis its on an echange basisothers don't wann dirty up the interior of your car with dirty wheels n tyres. But whichever it is -best you get onto them fast

Or sparkies when they clean up . picking up everything that has copper in it but leaving all of the stripped bits of plastic and cut zip clip ends.

Only the low pressure cylinders are made from copper, mains pressure is made from something totally different and are worth nothing (this is why they weigh about 3x more than a low pressure cylinder too)

Mains pressure cylinders can be made from copper or enamel coated copper or stainless steel. Certainly wouldn't say they are all non copper.

Rheem cylinders are definitely not made from copper. I can't remember what they are made from (possibly a ceramic type material) but yes, it is enamel coated and made very tough - I have seen the inside of one of these cylinders when the Rep was doing the rounds with a sample. Some are made from stainless, Cooper seem to be using stainless a lot these days . but never have I heard of a mains pressure cylinder being made from copper. Copper can't handle the pressure of mains pressure. unless possibly the wall thickness was ramped right up, but then it would no longer be cost effective.

There are enamel coated copper and even straight copper mains pressure cyls, some of them have ceramic outers and special liners and all sorts that can be removed. However most of the brand new ones are stainless or coated copper or even coated steel as copper is so dam expensive lately. Not sure what that stuff the rheem ones are made out of is or if it has a layer of copper in there.
