Looks like the previous owner tried to paint the wheel studs and they look terrible. Where is the best place to source new ones? I'm not even going to bother to ring VW, and ebay uk has plenty of aftermarket sets, but unsure of quality.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Bluefin, whereever you procure them from, they will need to specced for load rating.

Ye, i thought that might be the case, hence why i asked here rather than just grabbing an ebay special. Any idea what the required spec's are? I have a local factory who specialises in fasteners, and they every size/spec nut and bolt under the sun. they even custom make to order, if you know what you want.Comment

Ye, i'll keep that as a last resort. I'm about to detail and wax the wheels so would prefer shiny new ones to finish the look.Originally posted by rob64981 View Post

My 2008 Multivan Comfortine TDI Auto is 215/65 R16 C 106/104/T Tyres as an example. That is, load rating is 106/104.Originally posted by bluefin321 View Post

Another thought, at that price, dip them in petrol or turps or something to remove the paint!!

Advice is to buy 1. Paint stripper 2. Aluminum caliper paint. Cost you less than $30 and they will look like newComment
