Title: wheel bolts
Post by: floyd.98 on 12 May 2007, 12:26:22

Just about to put alloys on my car,  ;D can someone tell me, do I have to get special 'alloy' bolts or can I use the ones fitted onto my car (with steels).

I'm sure the current ones will be fine, I'm not aware of  different types


Don't take my word though, lets see what some others say.

As far as I know the Vx ones are the same for alloy and non-alloy wheels.

Hi, they different nuts for alloys from my experience is a Ford & Roverism. Both use nuts as opposed to bolts.  Some had washers on them to avoud seizing. Vx dont deviate due to more thought in designing the things in the first place.
