Post by: holmesy777 on 08 August 2009, 10:19

just wonder if going from standard steel wheels to a set of avus 2 alloys will i need to replace the wheel bolts as well?
haven't got the car yet so want to get new bolts(if required) to put them straight on!

If the alloys are reps then yes you will need new alloy bolts with a different taper.

Check the bolts, should be rounded taper if so then they will be fine.
