32mm I believe, or thereabouts. You can buy 10mm spacers for the rear but not many people put them on the front.

Cheers david, I was thinking about 10 or 15 mm spacers on the back lol. What kind of finish is that on yours? They look well nice

just a quick question about comps. was gonna buy myself a set but i trial fitted one of my mates and the bore of the alloy was so tight it took so much effort to get the alloy off. Is this the same for everyone elses 9n? cos i would be so annoying if u got a puncture and was on your own getting it off.

My 16" Barcelona alloys are tight as hell and they are standard

My finish is diamond cut and lacquered by Pristine Wheels. I've had them on the car for over 25k miles and 2 winters with no corrosion to speak of. Very pleased.
The centre bore is often very tight if either the wheel has been refurbed (thicker paint) or there is rust on the centre of your hub. A wire brush or screwdriver on this rust will help, and if it's your alloy that's been refurbed you'd have to sand the centre bore.
But if it's just tight, then if you "screw" the wheel onto the hub it will be easier than just trying to push it on. Mine are similar but sit flush once they are tightened up.
