[s-cars] lug bolts

[Varon H. Fugman]

You might try the manufacturer of your wheels... I was able to get a set
from TSW for my summer wheels (the previous owner kindly gave me two sets of
wheels... but only one set of bolts!  Using the OEM bolts with the TSW
wheels resulted in only about two turns holding the wheels on.  My mechanic
discovered this (and freaked!) first time I took the car in.)

In case, make sure that in addition to the length you know whether you need
conical head or spherical head bolts.  The OEM wheels use a spherical head;
some aftermarket wheels require a conical head.

With the right length *and* type of bolt, you should have about 4 turns of
the bolt once the treads engage.

Does anyone out there have a good source for 14mm chrome wheel bolts?  I
need some longer-than-stock ones to get more than one diameter of
engagement...
