ye he did but i wud rather just get new for a tenner more. the one he got probly fine its just peace of mind. they ordered now hopefully wont take long to arrive cuz the golf looks daft with mint looking 19's on back and sh!t white 18's up front.lol. if i had a better jack i wud stick the 18's back on the back but cant be doing with it just for a couple of days.

Wazzzer will have given you a link to decent ones. Just make sure they have the right bore size as 'universal' ones will throw your balancing out all over the place.

Ive also had one split, wheel bolts came loose, and front wheel ended up overtaking me down the road while i was stuck on 3 wheels on a high street. No fun  :grin:
