Title: Advice On Wheel bolts?
Post by: Djmac on 25 February 2013, 13:21: I've recently just bought some Schmidt modern lines for my golf and looking at the wheels it seems i need some slim bolts? Can anyone advise me to somewhere i can purchase some with the right length and thread pitch?

Thanks alot, Dan

If you look on ebay, there are people selling alloy wheel lock removing tools. No matter what type or size?
