They are also illegal, you should not be able to pass a WOF with them fitted.

they are not illegal but they do need to be certed.

price depends on what kind you're talking about. the ones that bolt to your existing hubs and then your wheels bolt on to them (up to 25 mm change per side, used for putting fwd rims on a rwd car) are 500+ a set from Mag and turbo.

the thin ones (up to 10 mm or can't be certified) should be pretty easy to find, or just go to a local engineering company and they should be able to make some up for a fairly low price.

being front wheel drive its probably not such a safety issue as the mags i have will fit the front its the rear ones that without spacers the tyres will touch the struts i dont mind putting longer studs on the rear but i dont think i would like to put them on the front .

i ended up replacing them all they were all rusty as fark
