Gents, I shipped the packages. I made a mistake on the weight though so my quotation is not good (4.4kg package instead of 2 in my calculation). Shipping is 45 GBP instead of 30. So I am 15 GBP off on each package.

I am sorry about that. Packages are shipped already, so you will receive it either way. It is a non for profit business, so either you Paypal me extra, put my name on your windows or leave it to your conscience. Thank you!

Thanks Emmanuel. I've sent you an extra £15 for your efforts.

Thank Outrun and CatmanV2, received the extra payment.

If you read this Rossyl, your package is on hold, I need your address. Thank you!

If everything goes well, all the packages besides Rossyl should arrive on Friday. I will update the thread when the express company gives me updates next week.

Well received yours as well as AG2728's. Thank you!

One think I want to emphasize again, make sure everything is tight when you install. Go for a very short ride (just down the road), tighten again. Then go for a test drive and check that everything is tight. On mine, as I said before, one was not tightened enough and this can be areal hazard, so you have to install these properly.

I have driven with it since the install, no issues whatsoever (unless you use wider tires and carry passengers, then you'd have to use spacers only in the front).

Pamisa should have received his set already, the ones to UK should arrive soon as well.

Ok, my +15mm bolts arrived from Sprogs today, so just waiting for the spacers to arrive then it's off to the garage for new tyres, spacers on and a full Geometry reset. Should be interesting!

Are you going back to Wheels in Motion, Chris? They will often price match or beat tyre quotes, especially if you're doing ego as well.

 

[Chrisbassett]

Was going to go local, but maybe worth calling WIM - did a price-up of the tyres I want from a few places and WIM were £300 more expensive than the dearest of the rest. I'll give them a chance over the phone.

Spacers have arrived . So guys as this is what I do did a living, manage a maching shop I would say there are of a good standard . I havnt checked consitricity but just in the quality of machining there look good . Here's a pic

 

[outrun]

Nice one.

My spacers arrived today, happy days. I don't know when I'll get them fitted though as I turned my ankle playing football for the first time in 12 years so I can't drive at the moment.

As an aside does anyone know what the torque setting should be for tightening the bolts

 

[CatmanV2]

Tight enough to stop the wheel falling off

Mine were also taken in by a neighbour. They look top

I am glad you got them before the week-end because I did my best to send them on time for that exact purpose
For mine, I torqued as hard as I could LOL
Like I said, just do the install in steps. You DO NOT want to loose a wheel because it did not sit very well when you tightened the first time. There are many stories like that on many car forums!

 

[mjheathcote]

Cut and paste from the owners manual:
Observe the tightening torque for the wheel studs (98 ± 10 Nm).

 

[AG2728]

Mine also arrived yesteday. They look good, thank you.
