This original-quality wheel bolt is specifically designed for securing rims on vintage Volkswagens fitted with M14x1.5 threads. Its spherical seat fits perfectly within the recess of the original steel rims to ensure precise centring and optimum hold under high stress. Made from high-strength steel with an anti-corrosion surface treatment, it is an excellent replacement for your bent, seized or blunt-headed bolts.
Check carefully that your rims require a spherical seat (original steel rims) and not a conical one (often the case with aftermarket alloy rims). An unsuitable profile prevents the wheel from being centred correctly and may cause it to come loose.
Check: Ensure that the thread length below the head (19 mm) provides a grip of at least 6 full turns in the drum or hub without coming into contact with the internal brake mechanisms.
Sold individually.
