Advice On Wheel bolts?
« 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?

What do you mean by slim bolts? If the bolt hole through the wheel is less than 14mm then you are going to have to get them drilled out  :sad:

He just needs tapered bolts in standard size.

Aha I see, the tapered style rather than the VW radius bolts. Ten a penny on EBay  :smiley:

I'm gonna say something here and I could be wrong... Although I don't think I am.... Arnt they wheel bolt covers on them bolts?  Also 14x1.5 taper 30mm should be fine
