  • NSW Tuner Lug Bolts -Audi VW

    I bought these from America about 2 months ago for my DPE's.

    However i never ended up using them and they are brand spanking new and cut perfect to size. These are high grade metal and are over $150 for 10 in Australia and literally impossible to find as has to be a custom order (trust me, it was a headache so i gave up and got them from the US).

    I paid over $95 landed so im happy to part with them for $75.





    Yes these are a full set for all 4 wheels. Can ship no problems, pickup is fine too!

      I assume they are too short to use with 15mm spacers? If not, might consider it.

          I may be of some assistance as I've been down this path.

          I've just put a pair of 10mm spacers on the rear of my car and had to buy longer wheel studs (from www.ezaccessory.com - very good US website with FAST shipping). The 32mm shank on the standard VW studs just aren't long enough with spacers over 5mm. With my spacers on and the standard studs, I only got 3 full turns to tighten.....definitely not enough.

          I went and bought the M14x1.50 stud with a 45mm shank (10 studs - $44AUD delivered to my door in about a week) and it now takes about 14 full turns to tighten (with 10mm spacers on). I reckon you'll need pretty similar specs to what I've bought, at least a 45mm shank.

          Double check on the specs (M14x1.50), but I'm pretty sure all modern VAG are the same.

          Also, check whether your wheels have a ball seat or a tapered seat for the studs, 'cos you'll have to buy the studs to suit the wheels.

          Not trying to ruin a sale for you fuzion by any means, just wouldn't want someone to buy them and find out they don't fit.

            these are custom, i looked at that site and others (and sorry to rain on your parade) but after reading reviews the quality of steel i was a bit hesitant after hearing rust weep after a few months plus tightning issues minus they're branded items, they are good dont get me wrong but they import they're products. pedantic i guess due to the wheels and from exp in past and working @ a wheel/tyre shop etc so hence i wanted AMERICAN steel (insert echo here like a commercial) shipping from DE was ridiculous so went US. They originally were double the length and i got them chopped down when they arrived, they fit my wheels (both tt and the dpe's) with 5mm spacers on and 8mm spacer (tried for sake of trying whilst they were laying around.

            they are m14 x 1.5 .. but not for the early early vag cars!

            i wouldnt use them for your stock wheels personally unless your worried about the look of your current. they are very nice and still not impressed i cant use them.

            but as said, yeah definitely check if they fit. more then welcome to take one if your in sydney and trial i dont mind.

              I'll have to keep an eye out for rust then but they seem pretty good quality upon inspection. Maybe some are locally manufactured and some and imported

              Anyways, best of luck with the sale mate

              p.s. I don't have stock wheels.

                    All good mate, I didn't take any of it the wrong way.

                    Locknuts, yeah I know. Although it is pretty hard to even get to my bolts. There's a certain way you have to get the centres off, it took me aaaages to figure it out when I first got them.

                            I'm interested, but the critical measurement for me is the shank length now you've shortened them...basically, the length of the thread section
