thanks to Exonian who gave me good advice on the best wheels to suit the car.
They look fantastic Alan, best 18” design I’ve seen on a mk7 easily. They look way better than 18” Pretorias and suit the car perfectly.
Good to see the Polo caps fit well too, i was going to suggest trying those but was beaten to it as I didn’t get online for a while. Handy to have proper confirmation from Borbet though.
Do your OEM bolt caps fit in the bolt holes ok? The holes looks quite big.
Really pleased with the wheels Andy and all the bolt caps fit fine except for the McGard locking wheel bolt albeit I think I can make this fit with a bit of doctoring. A Black wheel bolt would have sufficed but McGard don't make one to suit the bolt length I needed.
You can normally cut the inner tabs out of the locking bolt cover then slide the outer shell over the round bolt head. Sometimes you need a shim and sometimes they can be a snug fit.
Can’t get over how good those wheels look
