    Any decent tyre shop can get them for you. Repco and autobahn aswell or you can buy them from companies like ECS Tuning, H&R etc.

    What size spacers are you going to get and are you buying 2 or 4?

    EDIT: Just had a look on ECS Tuning, 20 longer wheel bolts shipped to Sydney is about $140USD.

    Seems expensive for some bolts doesn't it? BMW one are longer than stock VW ones I believe, but I'm sure there are others out there, and depends how big you spacer is I 'pose

    Have you asked them about bolts? considering they make spacers, one would think (or at least I do) that they would make bolts to suit??? just a thought?

    i think ud be better off getting bolts just from a local tyre place. I got mine from mag wheel centre in richmond. didnt cost much at all.
    be careful u get the right bolts to suit your rims. standard VW rims use a ball seat from memory? My aftermarket ones use a conical seat and i think there are some rims that just have a flat seat too?

    Can get expensive i recently bought some $10.40 each added up fast!

    Made on a mill then chromed and hardened rather than forged ones.

    Wheel studs

    MB Spares in Fyshwich ACT have long studs. I bought 30mm ball seat studs for my ATS wheels, about $6 or $7 each. I noticed they had longer ones as well.
