Correct bolts for aftermarket wheels? MK6 GTI

[Skitz]

Hi all,
I'm purchasing a set of VMR 18x8 wheels and I've been told the factory VW wheel bolts wont fit.

Can anyone tell me what kind of bolts I need for these wheels?

any information would be greatly appreciated.

who told you that? From what I understand most VMR wheels are designed to use the factory ball seat bolts

I've done quite a lot of research in the last 2 weeks on lug bolts, sizes, fitments etc and this exact VMR question came up on a U.S. forum...and the consensus was ball seat.

Hmmm, I was reading on some US forums that most aftermarket wheels didn't use ball seat. If VMR do then I'm all good I'll double check when I pay for my rims. cheers for the info.

Yes that's absolutely correct...most aftermarket are cone seat but not VMR.

Mmm strange, i asked the same question to VMR yesterday and although the rims were 19 x 8.5 they said the VW bolts are fine to use.
