So when do we see the rims on!

Cars still off getting that bastard of a bolt off! Soon as I get it back I will mount up the wheels and take some pics!

Question for those of you running adapters - does the centre of the adapter fit snugly into the wheels centre bore? I assumed that the 2 would literally plug into each other but they don't fit quite that snugly - is that right? I definitely ordered the correct centre bore (57.1mm) but I haven't measured my actual adapters yet to see if they are correct.

they should fit on like wheels fit on.

Shouldn't have to smack them on, but they should fit on with ease and without excess slop. (mine do)

Question about adapters, I gather the purpose is so you open up a wider range of rim option with different stud patterns, but wouldnt these give you less room in between the hub and the guard, arent we already stuck for room in the Golfs?

part A, yes, it is.
Part B, yes and no. Some wheels are low offset, some are high offset. High offset wheels + adapters = normal offset (for a golf atleast) wheels.

My mechanic got the bastard bolt out and installed the last coilover for me while he was at it - so I'm back on the road! Wheels and tyres to follow.

Looks dope! Very nice inded! What headlights and fogs are you running? Mine is not as clean as that, matte paint job makes it pretty ratty, I sometimes think about respraying it!
