Morning all.

Not skoda related but.........

 

Ive been looking into changeing the steel wheels on my girlfriends vw polo from steel wheel to alloy wheels. The steel wheels have 4 studs. Idealyly i want to change them to alloy wheels with 4 stud. It the 2001 model.
Is there anything i need to do on the car at all?

The wheels are bolted on using wheel bolts. There are no studs.
