Golf mk7 / Re: CM Wheel bore size
« Last post by MinchCS on Today at 07:04 »I would be sending those back.
And wanting a refund unless they could guarantee their Pret replicas were an exact fit.

« Last post by Adam T7 on Today at 06:57 »Mine feels as smooth (if not a bit smoother, but that’s probably due to the 4 new tyres) as before on all road surfaces, slow and a speed, no vibration at all. Can feel road imperfections a bit more but I guess that’s due to the larger wheel and lower profile tyres.

« Last post by Adam T7 on 07 December 2025, 13:59 »Has anyone ever had a problem with CM 18” alloys being slightly over the 57.1mm OEM?
I have a set of Queenstowns (recently introduced by CM), that are 57.7 mm……too big for safety, too small for spigots.
I’m in dialogue with CM who may offer me an alternative wheel in which case it would be 18” Prets.
So final question…..to any owners of CM Prets…are they a good tight fit onto the 57.0mm hub, espec on the back hubs?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
19” CM Pretoria’s fitted just over a month ago, no issues so far🤞
I spoke with CM Wheels a lot before I ordered and they confirmed a straight fit, no need for spigots.
Only issue was the bolt caps, easily solved with VAG 17mm caps.

« Last post by SRGTD on 07 December 2025, 13:23 »I just checked the EJ-Parts.co.uk website as they have a massive selection of spigot rings so I was hoping 57.7 to 57.1 size to be listed but it’s not 
It seems bizarre that they have a 57.7 centre bore; IMHO a high proportion (the majority?) of customers for Queenstown replicas are likely to be Golf owners.

Got to work this morning parked up, ping engine light on ffs...well lasted 3 days I guess lol..
Had booked an mot monday so cancelling that while have light on 😳🙈
Have asked the garage to see if can get me in and thinking check the new plugs etc if gaps all ok amd coils in flush etc...
A smoke test to finally (hopefully) see where this air/vacuum leak is..
And thought looking on servicing info from last owner fuel filter not been done for a couple of years, Google says there are life time but lots say change 40-60k.. but if its not 100% ot won't hurt it I guess for a fresh one..
Tbf lots online saying more likely the intake has a split/gap or staying open or something, and poss leaky injector for the misfire etc.
Yeah I will be asking VW to change mine on the next service, I will also my requesting my gearbox oil be replaced (I have a manual) as my car is on 82k now.
Might be worth checking these guys out, they seem to be in your area?
