VAG fitment is 4x100 so no wobble needed?

Always does at first, but then you get all the sh1t in your face and some gimp always comes along on a bigger sled and runs over your fingers!

Don't see why not, the flat face of the bolt head would apply equal pressure the the cone and it's not like the cone is going to be able to move/dis-lodge once its tight

Centre bore for centring, bolts for applying pressure to mounting face, correct spigots are the key to success. Just how correct I'm not sure, as can be seen by my other thread in mech lol

Surely with the right spiggot rings all should be well

with a decent mounting spigot, you shouldn't need cones.
but cone mounting is designed as a location as well as clamping device.

well, it is on hgv wheels

as said, decent spigot ring & you should be ok, just don't let some member of fraggle rock (a tyre fitter) use the windy gun on them

Friend has had them on his metro gti for almost 2 years now, it's driven fairly hard and he hasn't experienced any problems with them.
