I had spiggot rings with my non-VW wheels and they still didn't run true.

Go with VW if you want it to work properly.

As for the 'oooooh I got XXX out of mine' this really is turning into a fairly futile cock-waving competition, isn't it?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Everyone is joking anyway. Not one Golf GTI owner goes over 70mph.

Normally travel at around 85-90 (on private roads only of course), though go faster if I need to overtake..

I'm not scared of going fast but don't tend to do silly speeds when I risk losing my licence or get points or worse kill someone.
