Hi

Yep he's correct. But you can get them from Here for less than half that price (You want the 4x98 ones)

Actually yeah, ive read on here that some dont fit in the holes on the wheels. That wouldnt be a problem if you bought from motorworld, because im sure they'd get you the right ones.

What wheels have you bought?

Re: ALLOY WHEEL "WOBBLY" BOLTS

Well the actual bolt threaded bit fits through the hole, but wobbly bolts have a loose collar around the top and this sometimes is too big to fit in the hole on the wheel. Id just get the ones from motorworld- if they dont fit you can easily take them back. You got the wheels free you should have 50quid to spend

Re: ALLOY WHEEL "WOBBLY" BOLTS

Theyre just a normal bolt with a loose collar round the top that makes up for the 2mm difference in PCD. Fiats are 4x98 and aftermarket wheels are usually 4x100. You'll have some on your car now!

Yes you can use locking bolts, but they need the loose collar aswell.

If you do use wobbly bolts the spiggot ring that pushes up against the hub needs to be the right size/diameter.

Re: ALLOY WHEEL "WOBBLY" BOLTS

Locking wobblys are very difficult to find, 3 wobbly bolts and 1 normal locking bolt per wheel is fine and is what most other people use.

Depends on condition, etc.

I notice that your B pillars are body coloured, yet on GTs they should be matt black...

Re: ALLOY WHEEL "WOBBLY" BOLTS

Surely if you use 3 wobbly and one fixed wheel nut then the wheels wouldnt rotate right?

Wouldnt that off centre the wheel?
