Can't view the link at work (bloody firewall!!!)

When I bought my alloys they didn't come with any bolts so I went down to the breakers and picked up a full set plus a spare for £10. Saying that I wasn't bothered about them being nice and shiny as I've got coupe alloys 'my nuts are hidden from view' (sorry couldn't resist it :cheesy: )

Ooh, shiny bolts on ebay for £1.99.

The seller also offers some 'wobbly' bolts :o apparently the correct term is 'corrective' wheel bolts designed to take up slight differences in PCD's - never heard of these before :|

The wobbly bolts have been about for years, they're just getting a lot more common nowadays. A lot of the older Fiats and now the new skool VW lot are using wobbly bolts. The Fiats were using them as they had a PCD of 98mm and the most common alloy wheel fitment was 100mm so the 'wobbly' bolts make up for the slight disparancy. The new skool VW lot use them to fit Jap spec fitment 114.3mm onto the 112mm on the newer VW's and Audi's.

I wouldn't want to use them on a Pug though as there is nothing with a PCD close enough for them to work properly.
