VTS wheel bolts - VTR wheel brace
Just been out to put my locking nuts on which went on no probs with the wheel brace from the car, but went to check the tightness of the other bolts and the brace is a mile to big.... I bought the wheels with the bolts but didnt think that the VTS bolts had smaller heads???

Yes thats what I have on now but the wheel brace that came in my car is too big for the VTS bolts heads  it fits the VTR bolts that came off and also the McGard locking nuts I have on the car at the moment...

^ ^ Same as me 17mm bolts + 19mm Mcgaurds
I have a wheel brace now that has a doudle ended socket (17+19) so just swap it round for the different sizes.

get a good socket wrench and then just carry a 17 and 19 mm bit, then you wont need 2 braces.
problem solved.

Sounds like the logical solution, where did you buy it from?
