Got my front tyres fitted yesterday as rears havent turned up.

One of reasons is because its awkward getting 4 wheels and 4 tyres in the golf safely, so hopefully get rear tyres this week and fitted next weekend.

Have new bolts on order also.

Quick photo from a local meet today..

Thanks lads.

been a while getting wheels on, and not much more will happen for a month or so now, as ive spent loads on it past few months.

And work is going to get busy, so hopefully after UD i can get my front arches done as there not in a very good state, but wanted the wheels on before getting them sorted.

Followed the guide on here, fit halo rings in the inners,

You have to split the lights and run the power from the number plate lights, but i think totally worth it.

I'll link you to the guide I saw for the lights when I'm on computer later.

I didn't read a guide for the buttons as already knew how to remove the air bag and there just screwed in.

Bear in mind you can only swap them on DSG wheels. Manual wheels you need to replace the whole wheel.
