Thanks Nik, but I'm sure if it's meant to be tomorrow, I'll be better off breaking mine than yours ;)

Cheers Rob, but no, I won't get a chance mate. It's Wilco's in Watton or nowt! :)

Gutted for you mate, I'm off all day tomorrow now, so if you need anything picking up, I'll bring it to you before I go to Snetterton.
Text me if you want to go this route due to the time constraints!

Cheers chaps
Trying to search online for any details of bore size on the wheels or the thread style I'd need on the bolts.

I will use the 17's if need be, I'd never give the RS's back :)

Edited
Bolts are M12 x 1.5 but must be flat faced not tapered, the centre bore on the MO's appears to be 62.5mm as opposed to 57.1mm of the VW hub.........does that sound about right?

So will steel wheel bolts do the job? I've a VW dealer down the road from me (Or GSF on the way to you...ish)........
As for the bore, look it up on www.alloywheels.com they're normally pretty good mate.

I too am off all day tomorrow now so the same offer as Robs stands, If you need me to pick anything up from this side of the world and bring it over I am more than happy to. I still won't be at Snett until around 4.30 ish though because I have to pick my boy up from school before I head over there.
I may be getting older but I REFUSE to grow up :D

Steel wheel bolts are fine but VW/Audi ones are always tapered so they won't be any good. That web site does not list Compo's Rob, thanks though.

It's just occurred to me........these came off of a rally 6R4. These would have had studs through the hubs, and nuts not bolts. Double fuck!!

Oh well. 17's it is. See you tomorrow.
