'Damn Id better take my alloys off my standard 200TDI rear axle then'

I think you will find he was refering to OE alloys, most aftermarket alloys fit all axles regardless of the hub type (both the types shown in your photos are aftermarket with open centres).

nope just re read, definately just says 'Alloys' ?? :) , however at least now thats hopefully cleared it up for folks As matty said certain OE will fit and many aftermarkets such as mine and Gaz's compomotives will also, just didnt want people thinking they were stuck with steels if they own a 200TDI.
A favourite post is about alloys and drum rears, it appears on most forums fairly regularly, Ive had people argue till they were blue in the face that you cant have alloys on a drum braked rear and they still refuse to beleive unless they see the motor 'in the flesh' :)

Cheers Steve

can have oe boost alloys on a 200tdi drum brake axle the joys of my dad been a boss of a 4x4 sales garage  :D

L90OOK:
Some early rear drum braked axles had shorter wheel studs which meant that alloys couldn't fit.  However longer studs are available from HERE .
As I understand it the longer studs have what looks like a screw driver slot in the end.
