Just a quick one.I'm after a set of BBS ch replica's that are on ebay,seller says they come with replacment ''chrome'' bolts.A mate had a set of replica alloys & used the bols that came with the wheels & by the end of the first winter they were a  rusted mess.
My question is with the replica alloys could i use the ''standard vw wheel bolts ?.The off set on the replica wheels are  the same as the factory rims.Thanks in advance. :happy2: :wink:

You need to make sure that the replica wheels are a radius seat and not a 60 degree taper.  as long as they are radius then you will be A OK  :happy2:  If not, i can get hold of black bolts (anodised) that last plenty long enough

Just compare them to your original bolts, you will be able to tell the difference. I think savechip put the original bolts in with his devil wheels and one of his passenger side wheels overtook him as he was driving down the road.  :chicken:

Gene Hunt:
Not recomended then  :scared:.Just out if interest how much do you charge for the bolts please.I would need 12 due to 4 locking nuts etc. Thanks again.
