What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

Tightened my wheels using my new torque wrench. Watched this first and it certainly helped although it went on a bit

I must have been doing something wrong with mine when I cleaned my wheels, as it clicked straight away and I could unscrew the wheel nut by hand! Will watch the vid and have another go at some point. Just resorted to doing them up as tight as I could in the end, which means they're probably over-torqued.

What wrench did you get?

A Sealey one. £26 off eBay. After watching the vid I think I managed to set it to 120nm correctly. My wheel bolts are certainly tight enough and I realised that I'd under tightened one of my wheels previously.
I also purchased a breaker bar that has made undoing wheel bolts a doddle.
The video explains it perfectly.

You will be surprised how little 120nm is on a wheel bolt

Gave mine a decent clean..

Lush Simon, great colour combo. Have you got spacers on those wheels?

[simonjj]

Thanks snooze, no spacers, wheels are 19x8 with 235 35 19 tyres, sits a bit lower when not angled on the drive -

260 mile round trip to Solihull for a meeting and i managed to crack the windscreen (about 1cm long) and get 4 stone chips on the bonnet

Stunning car, I adore these wheels

Do you need spacers for the brakes and do you get any rubbing on the arch screws

[simonjj]

Thank you wigit, no spacers required but I have taken the usual arch screw out as is was rubbing but this is only because it's lowered I would imagine.
You're not too far from me and are more than welcome to try them for size if you're thinking of buying a set.

These are some of my favourite wheels also. I live close to 'Awesome GTI' who stock Neuspeed so when I'm a bit more flush, these may well be getting purchased

Those RSE10s really do suit the night blue Mk7 

I really like the Neuspeed RSE14s, but mainly in the 'hyper black' colour which I think was exclusive to one supplier in the U.S
