    Cheers, I quite like the look of those, even though they are 16" and my current wheels are 17" I think they look pretty good.
    Now I just need to find myself a cheap set without tyres, as they all come with 205/55s[8(]
    Even tempted to get the polishing kit out as they look like an easy wheel to do.

    5x98 so going to need wobble bolts, and 58.1.
    Not ideal, but will wrap some insulation tape round the hub to make up the 0.5mm hub difference. Once they are on I dont care if it melts, as the wheels will be centered.

    EDIT: Decided to get some spigot rings made up. Only 20 which aint too bad.

    I was amazed to find this so easily with a quick google search. Really well priced and already on the way a day later. Good service, assuming they fit ok. Will update on arrival.

    The hole size is also a bit small for 5 stud, only 14mm, so going to drill out. Lots of adjustments needed, including front spacers to clear the brakes, but should look really good once polished. ****, think I am on the wrong forum, ED38 much?

    Well, after hours of sanding 1 wheel and still being MILES off finishing, I decided to throw in the towel and order paint.

    Spigot rings arrived pretty promptly. They are a good fit in the wheel, but were a tad slack on the hub. Not suprising really as they are only 1/2mm thick and would be a bugger to get just right. To sort this I just wrapped 1 layer of electrical insulation tape on the hub to get the wheel dead centered.

    Rides sooo much better now on the higher profile tires, and is also quieter with lighter steering, bonus.

    They do actually suit the Rado. Nice to see something different :thumbup:
