Most of them out there will have the facelift badge on them, maybe worth checking the 600, 800, series out they may fit ?

600's are 60mm IIRC

I´m pretty sure now that part number DTC10017XXX should fit the hairpins.

Ok, now I´m totally confused. A german hairpin owner made an oath that his DTC10017XXX are fitting his hairpins. Anyway ... I ordered a set of the DTC10017XXX and if they don´t fit I´m sure I will arrange them to fit.

HI Andreas.
I looked at a few sets of (DTC10017XXX) which by the way are also (DTC10014MNH) according to the seller to fit any other wheels they will need machining down?

Photo from the seller below.

THEY MEASURE 60mm ACROSS ( DIAMETER )

I did this once. I found a hole cutter that you attach to a drill that was a good fit inside the fixing clips and taped it together and used a nice rough file and ran the edge of the centre on the file with the drill, then covered the file in a finer wet and dry. Took a while but it did work sort of

... and I was afraid that I would need something like that for the job:
