Which alloy wheel bolts?

[SNewham]

Hey,

I just bought some baclk 205 alloys from Saxo180 (Craig)


Can anyone tell me what wheel bolts I need for them and where I can buy them?



thanks a bunch,
scott

im sure you can use any alloy wheel bolts like the ones off the vtr or even the 205 ones as they are the same thread. if you dont mind me askin - how much did you pay? as i was wondering what price they go for

[mallboy]

oh sorry, you can but them from any good alloy wheel shop or halfords - but make sure they are for alloy wheels!!

I paid £180 for them but they were in very good condition, newly refurbed with good tread.


Thanks for that, I need to use a flat bolt and not a tapered one. Will take a trip to Halfords tommorow morning :y:

yes they are flat bolts mate. i would have sold you some 205 bolts but im gonna sell my with the wheels!! try and get some 205 wheel bolts as im sure they have a spacer in them as the hole is pretty deep for the bolts!!!

Just to warn you mate, halfords want about 45 quid for a set. My halfords and local motorparts stores did. Most people want tapered so theyre loads cheaper

thats a rip off, but its true - flat bolts are not that popular. arent standard vt* wheel bolts flat?

Its all a bit random, some vtr alloys apprently came with chamfered, some with flat, same with VTS from what ive read, but i was told i needed flat for vtr rims so i swapped my chamfered ones with flat vtr ones with a bloke off here for 7 quid ;)

it confusing isnt it. the best thing for snewham to do is try and source some secondhand bolts then!
