Title: A couple of brake / alloy related questions!
Post by: JD2032 on May 17, 2015, 05:00:10 pm

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of going from some whiteworn ridden 16" standard TDI alloys.


To a set of these 18" ! Which I really love!

My questions were relating to wheel bolts, locking wheel nuts and also a couple in regards to my new brakes.

1.
Is it worth getting a new set of wheel bolts for my wheels? If yes, what should I get and where from?

2. I'm moving up to the standard GTI brakes, front and rear from my standard TDI brakes. should I get new brake lines?
I've seen braided brake lines advertised in a few places, would I need to replace mine? Would I need lines specific to a TDI or GTI?
