Don't modify the wheels without making sure that the spiggot ring from the TSW's has been removed from the hub, I think you will find it is stuck on there.

The wheels should fit straight on without making the center bore bigger.

Please tell me you didn't pay a ridiculous amount of money for them because they aren't RM's!!!!

Possibly RZ's, but not split rims and therefore $cene tax is not applicable.

£100 - £150 if they're in good nick with all 4 centre caps.

Looked again - def NOT RM's, but that's not an RZ centre cap on the front either.
