Standard wheel nuts on aftermarket rims

[GTI6R]

Hi guys quick question.

I've purchased a set of enkei rpf1's for my gti and I'm picking them up tonight. Now my question is will the standard wheel bolts fit in my new rims..? I have never taken one off my polo to see if they are big and bulky. What have other people with aftermarket rims done?

Thanks

you mean bolts?

unless the enkei have a ball seat I wouldnt run them, running the wrong seat type reduces the contact area between the bolt and the wheel. can cause damage to either the bolt or the wheel, or cause vibration

If they are original, they are bolts. You can buy nuts and studs from trackstuds.com if you want to convert. The Enkei are more than likely going to be taper not ball seats.

My ultraleggras came with nuts, but I still used the oem lock nuts. As mentioned you need to check the seat type but also the length as some after market wheels can have a thinner or thicker centre due to offset or material and may need shorter/longer nuts or the can go to far through and foul on the hub or not have enough grip in the thread and break.

I pulled one bolt out and check and they seem to a good fit and still have heaps of thread on the bolt so should be fine.. Otherwise I was up for $200 to get some new ones even though I would prefer if they were black
