I've been looking at this too. Hubcentric are expensive though. Plus you need longer bolts?

Ive got 20mm Forge rear and 10mm front I think. Got the longer bolts off ebay (expensive from Forge).
Car looks so much better (shame I cant drive it )
Rear wheels really fill the arches

I run 15mm hubcentric all round with no problems on 18" wheels - the hubcentrics are a must though they are expensive and have been on 4 of my cars with no problems when putting thro high torque power etc.

Cheeky fecker!!

I don't know what size the original bolts are..............................and don't say..... ' twice the length from the middle to the end'!!


EDIT - This whats needed - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-BIMECC-HUB...Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item43a007e91f

I think the original bolts are a 26mm thread.
