Wheel bolts

[wantmygti]

Should these be replaced at any point?

Just taken the wheels off ready for a refurb and noticed that the bolts are covered in corrosion and rust.

Should I put new ones on? These are original at 10 years old but VW have never mentioned it.

How much are the bolts?

You can get a set for 20 something from ebay.
Ive got a sert in my shed for the audi.

Dont actually need to be changed though

Are they wheel specific?

No just need the right thread.
If you put in something like mk5 golf wheel bolts theyll come up. Either a set of 20 or 24 dependant on locking wheel nuts or not

They are wheel specific - depends on which ones you have. There are two different types of seat - ball and cone seats.
Genuine VW bolts are always the same seat type, the other is usually used on aftermarket wheels.

VW quoted £4.50 per bolt.

I'm just going to clean up the existing bolts!
