Re: [T3] Wheel bolts and aftermarket wheels

[Per Lindgren <per.lindgren@c2i.net>]

<x-flowed>Any tire store that sell after market alloy wheels should be able to 
help here. If not, regular Audi lug bolts (p/n 431 601 139 A) should 
suffice, as they are the correct M14 threads, have the correct rounded 
contact surface similar to the Type 3 lug bolts, and are longer by 8 mm, 
for a total 27 mm thread length vs 19 mm length for the regular 4-lug VW 
bolt. Watercooled VWs are more often M12 threads, so they will do no 
good, other than on the 5-lug applications.
