I know but if its not done evenly then it knocks the balance out
doubt you can even take 10mm off them.

I heard they stopped selling them either earlier this year or last year?

Though i'm just floating around on the internet, and not a VW garage, so don't take my word for it, i just remember someone with a vw trying to get hold of some, and they were knocked back from the dealership.

Double dare, no backsies.

Fair enough, but, there is a possibility that they had some in back stock?

But, only way to know would be to ring them.
