Right, i have a polo and bought some alloys for it second hand. I've never had a problem fitting wheels before but this time i have!!

basically when i offer the wheel up to fit, there is too much of a gap and therefore there is movement!

now with the wheels came these green plastic things that clip into the centre. Now when i put these on and offer the wheel up, its too tight and the wheel wont go on. Am i right in thinkin that the green plastci ring is a spigot ring?? could be totally wrong here!!

if im right, then do these spigot rings come in different sizes so that my wheels will fit??

thanks all, any help appreciated!

OJC what are you on about???

Marc, what wheels are they?

By the sounds of it the spigot rings you have are the wrong size.

You'll need to call someone who deals with aftermarket alloys and tell them what wheels you have and what car they are going on and they should be able to get you some correct sized spigots
