You certainly did, I wanted to head to Cork for VAGE '14 but wasn't able, so a spin in the mountains was compensation

Its in need of a good wash and DA, but this is how my car is now and for at least the next 3 months until I have money again. Things left to do are: fit new steering wheel(I will do it next week), new rear bumper, Series 2 LED tail lights, lower profile tyres, fit front fog lights, and 2 nice dark coloured seats for the front.

Were they a straight fit onto the Corolla?
The F/TF use the weird old Triumph 4x95.25 PCD so they don't fit much else apart from auld Maestros and things unless you use PCD adaptors.
I noticed after buying them they didn't fit exactly. But once I put one on at a time and tighted them on one at at time they fit fine.
They are def off an MG.
I considered spigot rings for the centre bore but read elsewhere that all they do is centre the wheel initially and that makes sense. And read that the hub takes 99% of the forces and the wheel nuts the remaining 1%.
Might my wheels shear off?0 -
That's really bad news.
Edit:
Strongly recommend you to measure PCD correctly to make sure.
And many Rovers have 4x100 PCD:

Edit 2:
Well, I was wrong and they probably are from MG TF indeed.

Def get the spigot rings, you also wobble nuts (yes, really) to make up the difference in PCD0 -

VW give a very handy tool in new cars to eliminate that problem.sE9swm,vL1BRyW4f3PTg~~60_12.JPG)

gave the seats a good dose of Gliptone, hard to believe there are 172k on these seats.
