Title: Wheel Bolts / Lug Bolts
Post by: willni on January 15, 2017, 10:33:31 pm
Hello,

Does anyone know what are good replacement wheel bolts for the edition 30, dealer put rusted ones back on mine when i bought it and they're rust welded on so I have to replace as it's easier than rust removal of on the threads

Bit skeptical of ebay ones to be honest, since it's the only thing keeping the alloys on. Would rather spend a little bit extra and have peace of mind about their strength

They are high tensile steel.... lol

I've never had any problems with them and bought a few sets in the past.

True, but is it really steel?  :scared: had fake stuff from ebay before, and I looked at VW ones £3.90 roughly per bolt didn't feel like £80 on bolts  :laugh:
