It might just be me being silly but how on earth do you get the black centres on G60 Steels?
I was trying earlier but gave up in the end.

You put all the bolts in, then put the covers on and give the center a good hard whack!! Itll click over the ridges on the bolts
It doesnt look simple at all - i saw that!!

I assume so, they're the bolts that were on the car when I bought it including the round locking one.

They aren't going on for sh*t!
I've hit them so hard my hand is now hurting and all that happens is nothing really - money well spent me thinks

They should go straight on - they fitted on mine when i trialed it no problem at all!! - take a snap shot of the center and post if you can
The little ridges lock under the lips on the bolts so they stay in place...it seems odd that yours wont lock on, unless theyre not original bolts

I'll try and get a pic tomorrow, I did want them on for when I go to Oxford Edition but doesn't look like they will be.

It just seems odd they dont fit on - have you lined the bolts up perfectly? Try pushing on the edges where the bolts go through also

I found my centre caps really hard to fit too. Got my local tyre shop to put them on for me instead when I had some new tyres!
