i have 15" wheels on my 140 tdi with winter tyres . they were off a golf tdi s and fit no probs . do you need different bolts? i just used the ones that were holding the 17" classics on

JoeDarKa

I gave the lad who bought my wheels the bolts  :ashamed:

Iv now got tapered ones on my existing alloys so not sure which ones I will need  :confused:

Not sure what a tapered bolt looks like mate . the ride quality on the 15 s is immense tho its amazing what a bigger side wall does especially on this countrys knackered roads

JoeDarKa

The head is V shaped and not flat. What tyres have you got on yours? Any hub caps or centre caps?

The colour changes depending on what light they are in!  :xmassmiley:

I like them - very unique  :happy2:

Looks like they've done a good job too!  Where did you get it done?  Need to get mine done  :party:

Come on, get your trolley jack out and get them on!!!   :smiley:

RSam84

they are already fitted but as it was dark when they were finally on we couldnt get pics! they were done by vanden powdercoaters in bolton, they charged 140 including shot blasting to remove the rust! think it was £60 for shot blasting and £80 for powdercoating.
