After Christmas I'm going to replace my Alfa 156 with a MK3 Golf TDI which will be cheaper to run and might actually get used instead of sitting on the drive. I'm thinking sort of along these lines:
I'm hoping to find an estate but this causes a slight difficulty in that lowring springs seem to be thin on the ground for estates. I assume that the wagon has different rear suspension hence the need for different springs. What I'm wondering is whether I could use -60mm springs on the front and chop the rears to suit?
The other question is more general. I have this idea about running the standard steel wheels with a set of these:

I saw something in PPC where they used bolts but I wasn't convinced it would be reliable. Has anyone any experience of attaching this type of hubcap to wheels never intended to take them? If so how did you do it.
Cheers
