what size spigot rings will i be needing? as i tried to put them on but they don't sit snug on the hub and i dont want to put all the weight of the alloys on the bolts alone. i have a mk6 polo 9n

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 :?

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
