Few better pics from when it was clean

Also would highly recommend the Garage Midnight Stud Kit to anyone considering it. I love how it looks and makes changing wheels mega easy. Also less likely to damage a caliper which drives me mad when I hear wheel and caliper donk into each other.

























Last Saturday saw a slow car go on the dyno   :innocent:

Thanks mate, got them off eBay actually. Just read carefully and make sure you get replacement caps and not just a stickers as some of the ads are pretty misleading

Thank you gentlemen

If it's a sticker I'd assume there's an edge on it somewhere. If you want find one then it'll be a whole unit not just a sticker.

Wow, I'd have expected better from H&R. Did they sort you out or did leave you to suck it up?

Looking good Dan. I'm going to check out that stud conversion kit myself as running larger, heavier brake discs and spacers that don't secure to the hub at all means changing a wheel takes about x10 longer than it should, plus I've scuffed and knocked my calipers too so know what you mean there!

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

If you're concerned about wheel fitting you can get a threaded bar to aid fitment.
