So my newly acquired 160,000 mile V6 just passed its MOT with no advisories. Very happy with that so I have purchased some 18in Blackline wheels. These will be the daily wheels. Have some Sienas en route from Europe.
Will put some pics up soon. Cheers.

So... When fitting Blacklines to a GTV you need shorter wheel bolts. Doh! Shorter bolts ordered. I'll get my coat.

Indeed you do - when fitting any 156/147/GT wheels to a GTV you need shorter (156/147/GT spec) wheel bolts. Same as when fitting GTV wheels on a 156/147/GT, you need to use GTV wheel bolts.

I remember making the same mistake about 10 years ago!

Blacklines are one of the bedt looking wheels for the 916 IMHO

It will look sweet

Ah cheers guys, bolts arrived and the car looks good! Going to get them refurbed anthracite to go with the Proteo Red. The Sienas will be refurbed to standard.
So much for keeping the car totally standard haha
