It's getting way too warm for the winter tires so I need to get the summer tires on soon. I was looking in to security bolts and wheel locks and wasn't sure which was better or if it's a matter of preference. I'm also trying to figure out what length bolt I would need to use as the wheel's have a different offset than stock (not sure if that affects length) and I am not using spacers. Someone else on here mentioned they were using the wheel lock kit from ECS (PN 260952) for quite a few years and liked 'em. I saw some McGard SL security bolts that had a spinning head which I liked.

From searching through the forum I believe that the stock bolt is 14 X 1.5 X 28 ball seat. This means that the SL bolts wouldn't work as as they are an M12 X 1.5. When I purchased the wheels I was sent new lug bolts that are conical (don't appear to be ball anyway) to fit flush in the new wheel but I have no specs on them. They look to be about 27mm long (1 1/16" thread) with another ~2mm of smooth shaft before it begins the conical taper but a friend has some calipers so I can get an exact measurement. I believe stock bolts are 28mm from what I could gather digging around the forums.

The offset is 35mm, stock is 43mm. From what I gather no spacers or anything special is required other than the centering rings which were provided. Granted the stance will be slightly off which may cause a little extra wear and tear over time on some steering parts but shouldn't really affect handling. If anyone has personal experience over long term that says opposite I'm all ears though. I'm not a professional driver so I'm not going to notice very minor handling changes.

What size bolt would I need? Any opinions on bolts versus locks? Thanks. ]]> Subsonic http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/541198-2013-S4-19-quot-BBS-CX-R-wheels-Security FlowForm!

Had wheel faces powdercoated two winters ago. Place did not torque the bolts back down sufficiently on one wheel, and last summer the face slightly separated from the barrel damaging the bolts and stripping some of the holes. [headbang]

Now is it possible to have the bolt holes re-drilled and have new bolts put in, or am I screwed.

Wheels are discontinued, so getting a new one isn't an option. ]]> KidGT http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/540872-Can-my-wheel-be-re-drilled-Not-what-you-think VMR Wheels - Different size center caps?? (old vs new) http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/540646-VMR-Wheels-Different-size-center-caps-(old-vs-new)?goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 19:13:45 GMT About 2 years ago, I purchased a set of 4 v710's in silver for my A4 (B7) directly from VMR. I recently mis-negotiated a curb and damaged one of the wheels, so I opted to purchase a replacement. When I purchased the new wheel, I specifically asked VMR if anything had changed since I had purchased my original ones and was assured that nothing had.

When the wheel arrived, I unpacked it and immediately noticed that the center cap was now black instead of silver. Although I had hoped to have a matching center cap, this wasn't that big of deal since I still had the original one from my curbed wheel. But I was wrong.

The new center cap is slightly too large to fit into the new wheels and the old center cap is loose and slides around in the new wheel. They are visibly different in size. When I contacted VMR, I was told that they should fit perfectly and if it didn't, "try wrapping some electrical tape around it to make it fit better". This is not an acceptable solution for me.

I'm mainly curious if anyone else has had a similar problem with VMR when ordering a replacement wheel. And if so, what would you recommend?

Thanks. ]]> pharph http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/540646-VMR-Wheels-Different-size-center-caps-(old-vs-new) New Pilot Sport A/S 3 tire from Michelin http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/540584-New-Pilot-Sport-A-S-3-tire-from-Michelin?goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 14:34:55 GMT New Images have been released for Michelin’s new all-season tire, the Pilot Sport A/S 3.

I just picked up a set of Avant Garde M510 20x10 ET25 for a 09 S5 and have a couple questions ...

Does anyone know what type of bolts I need? The OEM bolts look too short and it also looks like the M510s have a conical seat type whereas the OEM bolts are ball. That's just from me eyeballing it and I'm not even sure what length I need.

Also, does anyone know what the center cap size is? I found this thread that says 68mm overall and 63mm prongs but wanted to double check before ordering anything.

Any info would be great and if anyone has a link to where I could buy the bolts or center cap that'd be even better!

As employees at an automotive performance shop, we have our fair share of wheels to pick from. We usually mull over the choices and, after many a long and hard thinking session, choose one to fit our our daily drivers. Our BMW specialist was the most recent participant in this little dance of wheel decisions for his 135i and he landed on a great wheel from this great company: The V705 by VMR Wheels.
