Your car is gorgeous.

I love the full front car bra, can only seem to find the bonnet one

And those Audi rims are perfect. Was gonna ask how you got them to fit but that is amazing. Was it easy to do?

Holy s**t, you need your head read.

Have you got a death wish?

You're damned lucky they didn't just fall straight off!

I'm aware I'm now going to get told "but they didn't" however, that's a seriously dodgy bit of work there.

100% safe!

Friend of mine has them under a g40, polished.. (to compare that he has more power)

In the netherlands a lot of people do it like this. Driving aroud with adapters (5x100 to 4x100) is something to worry about.

Ow yeah... the wheels are atiwe (13'' 7J)

Do you have any idea how incredibly dangerous it would be to drive with the hole like this. This is a total bodge job, id be worried.

Hans · Post by **Hans** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 12:02 pm

Well, i sold them so no need to worry.

And serious it is no problem..

Its a problem because that thin bit of metal, where the two holes meet (kind of figure of eight) is sooooo thin, it could break so easily

the mint with the hole · Thu Oct 20, 2005 2:41 pm

There isn't as much threat as everyones making out, that thin bit of metal has no reason to break, to north and south bolts keep it locked against up and down force so the side bolts arnt gonna go up and down in order to break that bit of metal. As long as the bolts are gripping it everythings ok, if there is any play in any of the bolts though there may be enough movement to snap or at least bend that bit of metal. I wouldnt like to drive on em, but thats still not a bad idea really.

live and learn thats what i say
i'll just say now that even the most unusual things happen from time to time
in a way its abit selfish really cos you could not only be putting yourself and whoever is in the car at risk, but also other road users!

Bearing in mind all the weight should be on the hub as thats what its there for, the bolts are there to just hold the wheel in place.

And if theres enough weight from the bolt on that thin bit of metal Id be worried full stop!! Looks worse than it is...
