Just a quickie, has the car been assessed by the in's co's assessor, this usually takes a few days to sort. If you change the wheels on the car and they are not 'standard' then you may have a problem with the insurance. If putting other wheels/tyres on the car make sure they are legal.
Would be a shame to void you ins and not get paid out.

You just need to worry about the position of the bolt holes, are the rover wheels holes at the same diameter as the toledo wheels. The ET 35 and ET 38 bit refers to the offset of the wheels, and 3mm should not make any noticeable difference.

Hi All,
thanks for the info,
yes the wheels fitted, but i left them on the wifes incase there were any problems..
i could have left my wheels on her car, as they were an oem fit, although hers came with 15 inrims as standard...
once the ins co decide what to do, can we recover the alloys or do we loose them ... there prolly worth 100-150 she,s only going to get roughly 500 back all shame to loose them

The insurance company won't give a toss about the wheels, once the assessor has been they will have nothing more to do with it, they will contact a salvage company to take it away and dispose of it.
If the wheels fit your car you may as well have them, otherwise some monkey at the salvage yard will have them. The same goes for any aftermarket stereo gear you may have fitted.
