I paid about that for my hubs to be machined down so I can fit any VW wheels. but the fronts did need new bearings after though.

does that mean you have to run spigot rings to run on renault wheels now then ?

my borbets were off an e30 so i had to have the wheels machined out also, simple to do and worked a tread

Ive turned all my hubs down and rear disc`s.. Thing with the rear discs you need to turn down the inner side of the disc first then spin it round so your able to clamp it in the chuck to do the hub section..All easy stuff really... I run spigots for renault wheels... I didnt want to turn down the ATS rims as i feel it would de-value them alot as the VW market is huge to re sale too..
