Title: Wheel lugs. WHY so hard?!
Post by: jonnym on 01 April 2013, 13:07

Bit random this so an apt section for this question/discussion.

So, my golf is currently sat on the drive with buckled rims after a huge pothole said hello to the golf.

Now, I have decided that I would like a new set if wheel lugs for the rims. Only problem being, I don't want to do what I did last time and cut the heads down to fit with the centre cover. Apparently you can get wheel lugs designed for use with covers or indeed short headed wheel lugs. Anyone what these are called? Or even a suggestion as to where I can get them?? My rims a 18s BBS RS reps so conned shaped. 17" front and 27" thread rear.

Anwers on a post card please and WHY is it so damn hard to find these?!

No he's talking about putting a stud in the hub then using wheel nuts!

Called wheel studs can get from eBay or Rimstyle etc.
