Aarrgghh! Wheel bolts!

[Mike Edwards 0]

Just found out that some complete chimp had fitted tapered wheelbolts to the original fit BBS wheels on the G60.

 

Hopefully they haven't cracked the wheels.

 

Does anyone have any standard VW 12mm wheels bolts going spare?

Mike, I found my ones were too long for the BBS's and were rubbing on the abs rotors on the other side of the hub!

 

I just bought new ones fron VW, I got 12 of them for about £15

Hi, I've just fitted some G60 alloys to my 2l 16V and removed some awful TSW alloys and i have the same problem as Mike.... wrong bolts.

Just off the phone to VW in Coventry and they discontinued the bolts to go with the G60 alloys in 2003!!!

The bolt size he gave me was M12x1 5x23x5.

This doesn't mean a lot to me and I'm not sure if I wander down to Halfords they'll give me the right thing.

Anyone got 16 spare bolts :wink:

or know of somewhere where I can buy some (at a reasonable price preferably!)

Thanks

Thanks for the quick replies! I've emailed midlandwheels and asked for part numbers... I'll post them up when they reply and order myself a set.

 

Thanks for the offer kevhaywire, I'll let you know how I get on with midlandwheels... but very grateful for the offer.

 

Shiny finish.... shame they'll be hidden under the centre cap... until some chav knicks it! (I really shouldn't tempt fate :silent: )

Thanks

Hmmmmm....

midlandwheels weren't able to help as they "don't sell BBS alloys!"

Is this the specification I need to be asking for?

M12x1.5x23.5 and they need to be the radius type as opposed to 60deg tapered?

Going a bit nuts over bolts

:brickwall:

He he?!#! :wink:

 

Apologies for hijacking your thread Mike.
