<DIV></DIV>>I have the Rhein wheels on my Van - 15" of pure SA alloy love!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>As I recall, I only removed a small bolt on each rear brake drum to get
<DIV></DIV>>them to fit. The bolt was on the drum face, and after I called my
<DIV></DIV>>mechanic about it, removed it - and haven't thought about it since. I
<DIV></DIV>>used all the same everthing, but after shelling out a grand for the
<DIV></DIV>>wheels and new Agillis and extras, I got VW stud wheel locks for the
<DIV></DIV>>front, and some weird US type lock for the rear. Since wheel locks come
<DIV></DIV>>in sets of four, I have 2 locks per wheel. Am I paranoid or just proud?
<DIV></DIV>>Who knows?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>They do look good, and the Agillis made my Van handle like a dream...
