Thanks SJR, I was sort of 90% sure, but just needed a second opinion!
I'm going to give them a good scrub tomorrow, then down to ATS on Tuesday for fitting

You would be better getting a trolley jack and torque wrench from Machine Mart and doing them yourself.
Less chance of them being overtorqued by the air wrenches they use I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

I have a 2.5 Halfords jack. Will that do?
I'll go and buy a torque wrench, what should the nuts be at, I assume I can use my exsisting nuts?

Should be fine!
Wheel Nut Torque is 140NM Halfords own 'professional' brand torque wrench is very good as well if you don't have a machine mart close by!
It will probably take you less time to do it yourself than drive to the garage and wait anyway I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

IMHO those wheels look the best on the D3 of any combination. They're expensive over here in the US otherwise I'd have them on my D3 as I type this. Nice!16 D4 Landmark

They are on
Was the first time I've fitted my own wheels (I have trouble wiring a plug ) so feels even better when you do something yourself!
Anyway, I used the exsisting bolts and they stick out abit more on these wheels, is that normal? I tightened up all the nuts to required settings with my new tool
Also the rims are much closer to the calipers then the old wheel. They don't touch from what I can see. Road test seems to be fine with no sign of them touching. Is that to be expected?
