I have the Rhein wheels on my Van - 15" of pure SA alloy love!

As I recall, I only removed a small bolt on each rear brake drum to get
them to fit. The bolt was on the drum face, and after I called my
mechanic about it, removed it - and haven't thought about it since. I
used all the same everthing, but after shelling out a grand for the
wheels and new Agillis and extras, I got VW stud wheel locks for the
front, and some weird US type lock for the rear. Since wheel locks come
in sets of four, I have 2 locks per wheel. Am I paranoid or just proud?
Who knows?

They do look good, and the Agillis made my Van handle like a dream...
