   Right guys im looking to buy some tsw reflex alloys, problem is they have a offset of 38 and my mk 2 saxo VTR'S offset is 15-20, this means ill need to buy some 25ml spacers to go between the hub and wheel... the problem with this is that the life of the wheel bearing goes down am i right ???
   
   If im right how much are wheel bearing's and prices to fit them..
   
   
   Cheers peeps

   i got a bearing kit for my mk 2 and the one you posted was the one i got and it did not fit i had to buy the whole hub Assembly cost me 55 pound in the end and as for fitting them there quite hard if you don't have right tools.
