Bought these little fruitloops from Germany. Should be here Thursday according to FedEx.

Engineered for the mk5 with a 57.1 bore and 5x112 pcd. Hopefully wont be made of oats and wheat. (cheereo's so goooood to eat)  :jumpmove:



Currently having the new hubs fitted at a DIFFERENT mechanic. New front bolts also on the way  :party:

Be careful with these chap, Unless a couple of mm your better off with hubcentric  jobbies. Yours reduce the hub mounting area by 5mm, Not ideal even with longer bolts.

Remember the bolts hold your wheel in place but the hub locates them.

I'm not sure we can describe a wheel falling off as lucky but you were really. Could have been a lot, lot worse that.

The wheels and rest of the car look simply stunning.
