Does anyone have 18" rota grids on their MK5?

If so do you have any pics or wheel specs?

Cheers  :happy2:

Yeah another good reason to get rotas, they are usually very lightweight.

Only 2-3lbs heavier than OZ ultra/superleggera IIRC.

Fitting is fine you just have to tighten them in a star pattern a little bit at a time.

If you were thinking you could use wobble bolts for 5x100 to 5x112 you can't, you would need to use adapters as wobble bolts only give you around 2mm of play
