The standard bolts are no good for aftermarket alloys, different taper needed, the ones I posted a link to should do the job all ok.

Never heard of them but your using the wrong bolts.

You need these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-M14X1-5-TAPERED-ALLOY-WHEEL-BOLTS-FIT-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-MK5-/200767923589?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item2ebeb36585

Or maybe the same fit but a little longer.

clear as mud then  :laugh:

Having never heard of the alloys in question it is kind of hard to sort, however 99% of aftermarket alloys use square taper bolts, at the moment they are fitted using standard bolts which will not be helping.
