Not normally a fan of the 'loon Steve but, I must admit, those rims really suit her well. Good news with the TPMS too

Re: Wheel bolts.
Cheers mate. I have been after a set for a while with a et of 29. Then saw these advertised in gloss black.
Powder coaters did a good job. Big thank you to Ben for help on the chosen alloy colour.
This is the first time I have had working TPMS, since I bought the car in 2012 ( thank you simonmcc )
The wheels are a great fit. Another first with the car.
No spacers
No spigot rings
And I now have a nice clearance between the alloy and front brake caliper.
The new two part wheel bolts were a perfect fit. 7 full turns.
Next job on the to do list.
Purchase Roose Motorsport Silicon hoses. Then install the fully refurbished original intercoolers.

Re: Wheel bolts.
Just realised when you start the car I now get the OK message.
I used to get tyre pressure monitoring system is switched off ( or something similar).
