Re: need some help with my new alloys
they were from a mk4 golf, got all the original engravings on the inisde of the alloy including "vw...bbs... serial number / model number..et" etc. im just really confused as i i just put the front one one, and it seems like the bore of the alloy is slightly too big for my hub

Re: need some help with my new alloys
If they are a genuine VW wheel, they will have a 57.1mm bore and will definately fit straight on. All VW hub spec is 57.1mm since the 80s
