Put my centres back into my rims this morning :D took a while tightening all the bolts! Used some special sealant underneath the centres to stop corrosion. They are now ready for tyres, which will be going on this week at some point :)

Couple of pics:

(Havn't pushed my centre caps in properly yet, as they are going in when tyres are done)
