Title: annodised wheel bolts
Post by: sharki786 on 13 April 2013, 07:48
Just having a peekie on ebay and came across these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLUE-WHEEL-BOLTS-x-16-12x1-5-mm-VW-GOLF-MK1-MK2-MK3-Lupo-Polo-Jetta-/121040416877?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item1c2e92306d (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLUE-WHEEL-BOLTS-x-16-12x1-5-mm-VW-GOLF-MK1-MK2-MK3-Lupo-Polo-Jetta-/121040416877?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item1c2e92306d)

Afraid not if your running standard anni wheels, as the seat for the bolt is ball type,
You can buy anodised blue covers for your standard bolts, I got some for the wife's car an they looked awesome

Not to mention the fact that those are the wrong size bolts totally.
They are M12...for 4 stud VWs.
Mk3 GTIs and onwards are M14 x 1.5.

So wrong seat type and completely the wrong size...
I agree. They won't fit  :grin:
