Help! What Wheel Bolts Have I Been Sold?

[welshpug 1,657]

bought some nice shiny wheelbolts on ebay last week -

 

 

the thread and length of the bolt is perfect, but oddly is has a much larger shank as shown here -

 

thats 17mm BTW, forgot flash and shiny objects dont mix

 

this is a pug original bolt -

 

as you can see is quite a lot smaller, just shy of 13mm in fact.

 

 

so what the hell have I been sold?

Well my guess would be They look tapered seat bolts for aftermarket wheels, but been made to imitate standard GTI bolts

[welshpug 1,657]

anyone care to whip out a bolt from their 106 206 307 and measure the shank please?

 

I think they may be for later wheels seeing as the thread matches.

im 99% certain there for aftermarket wheels, my bro in law had some like those when he bought a set of tsw wheels for his 306.

As Shown in the picture , these nuts have a 60 degree taper, meaning they are suitable for almost all aftermarket wheels. If you are using original alloy wheels then please check that the existing nuts on your car are also tapered and not flat before purchase.

 

[welshpug 1,657]

they aint 60 degree taper though!!!! they just have a Fat shank before a flat washer like the original bolts

 

and they were sold as flat faced o.e type bolts!

Have you thought that they simply might have sent you the wrong bolts!

[welshpug 1,657]

nope!

 

they're the only pug/citroen bolts this bloke does, It has also been confirmed that they're for later pugs as the hole in the wheel is larger.

the closest are 406 old version, but still, no 60degree over there.

I agree, some newer Pug wheels (206 gti springs to mind) has these kind of bolts.
