I believe they are classed as turner bolts, have you tried ebay.

The bit of the wheel that the bolts go through is very thick so I am assuming that is why they are like that.  I have tried ebay but its like trying to find a needle in a hay stack!

These, they are wolfrace.  Not sure if I could get away with just longer bolts!?(http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh272/benrevs/28032011067.jpg)

if you zoom in on that hole it looks like it has a radius machined in, if so then standard wheel bolts will be ok, just get the length right.

You sound like an expert on zooming in on holes  :rolleyes:   They have chamfered inserts pressed in by the look of it. Gunna try long vw ones I reckon.

I would not use standard bolts, they are a odd shape for a reason.

normal wheel bolts will be fine, just make sure the bolt seats are correct. push a blob of blue tak into the hole and check the sape, if rounded you need ball seating, if flat you need tapered seating. VW bolts are ball seating, but probably wont be long enough by the looks of it. BMW bolts are tapered and a bit longer so may do you.

can you get a closer pic of the bolt hole though so we can say for sure either way
