Wheel bolts

Wheels and wheel bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. Whenever you change the wheels fitted, e.g. light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres, you must also use the matching wheel bolts of the correct length and shape of bolt head. Correct fastening of the wheels depends on this.
