Those rims are going to look awesome, can't wait to see them fitted El

Thanks mate

Wwwwwwww just seen the email notification & came on straight away lol. They are going to look niiiiiiiiice.

Can't wait for the pics once fitted

Cheers buddy. Finally took the plunge and got my wheels after searching for ages looking at different sets!!!

Do it round mine if you want El, we can wax up the rest of the wheels at the same time.

Yeah if you don't mind us doing it round yours. Closer for Grayboy as well then

Can I crash with some lights?

Haha your always gate crashing so what's new

How are the rear lights held in? Never taken them apart.. :/

EL, what size is your front plate?

Front plate is: 330mm x 112mm - 13 x 4.25

Got it from createmyplates.com

In order to get the stance I am after I have calculated that I will need to bring my 15mm spacers to the front and get a set of 20mm spacers for the rears.

Whilst looking around I have come across these bolt to the hub style spacers which look good:

• AC Motorsport Services
• Rudie Mods
• Awesome GTI

Anyone had any experience with these?

Also trying to find somewhere who sells black tapered wheel bolts as the ones I have with my 15mm spacers are silver. Any recommendations?

Paint them satin black El. That's what I did with mine. You only need to paint the heads and mine have been fine

Looks great El

I thought about painting them but wouldn't it just chip off when you take the bolts on and off? The bolts will be seen so needs to look smart

Looks great El

Cheers mate

I thought that but haven't taken them off yet, and so far they have been ok.

Might just give it a go. Nice one mate

No I won't be doing the Bambi on ice look with loads of poke and stretch so not really a scene boy

Not yet...

Decided to go for the FK bolt on hubcentric spacers. Purchased them directly from FK Automotive in German at a great price.

Went crazy and purchased 20mm for the rears and 15mm for the fronts even though I already have a set of 15mm spacers. This means, in theory, that I should be able to use the black bolts that Rota supplied with the wheels which is why I went for this style spacer.

Time will tell if I have got it all right!!

I have been consulting my good friend (soon to be ex friend if he continues sending me stuff to buy) D.K on.............................................................cleaning gear. No this is not a joke I am going to change my ways and stop going to my friendly car wash guys who use one bucket of water for 50+ cars and sand paper to dry the car. This is my list so far:

• Karcher K2140+T50 Electric Pressure Washer - Already purchased
• EZ Detail Brush
• Elite Pro Soft Synthetic Wool Wash Mitt
• Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner
• Elite "Gentle Giant" Microfibre Drying Towel 36" x 24"
• Elite XL Ultra Plush Deep Pile Drying Towel
• Curved Foam Tyre Dressing Applicators
• Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection Gel
• Grit Guard Plus (bucket set) x 2
• Meguiars Last Touch Spray Detailer - 1 Gallon
• Meguiars Last Touch Bottle & Chemical Resistant Spray Head

Then at a later stage will be going for one of the following for my wheels. Don't need them right now as D.K has waxed up the Rota's for me

• Collinite Super Double Coat Auto Wax No. 476s
• Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour

He has warned me that the list is going to grow but the above items will get me started!
