Having custom lugs manufactured could be very expensive. I would recomend buying several sets of locking lugs in a style you like... wallah!! I've seen some funky looking lockers at autozone n' shnit. Just an idea. The only problem would be if eash set had a different key... could make wheel rotations or flat tire changes fun!

4 lug specs: M12x1.5 27mm shank I beleive.


im shopping for lugs for the BMW wheels for my rabbit so I have this on the brain. all I can find is chrome plated which i dont want, hopefully the wire wheel takes care of that for me...

i got a bunch of lug bolts that you can have. Stock as well as some aftermarket. I also got some for spacers too. I converted to studs and am very happy. Let me know if you want these bolts. Also check out Black Forest industries. I got all my hardware from them.

Got any VR lugs? Im missing one on each corner!


I just ordered lug bolts for my rabbit from: http://www.ezaccessory.com/ Paid $34 shipped for Qty16 45mm shank (would normally be used on 20mm spacers).

I got factory VR6 lugs off my passat. You can have them, I have no need for them anymore, however they are ball seat and can only be used with OEM or other ball seated wheels.

I also have a set of longer wheel bolts that are conical for use with most aftermarket wheels. They are to allow the use of 10mm spacers that I had at the time. I have a special key for these

I have a chrome set of wheel bolts same as above with another special key and lock set. I will need to look for these, but they allow for spacers as well.

I went to studs and love it. I now have 45mm spacing in the rear and 15 up front with 8.5 inch wheels in the rear and 8 inch. Talk about rubbing...... But now thats taken care of

His wont work for you Brent - VR's use a thicker lug bolt (14x1.5 vs 12x1.5)


Ryan - If I could have 4 ball seat OEM lugs that would be awesome, ive been riding around with 1 missing on each wheel since i got the car!

I've got misc. stock vr lugs floating around, too. I might be up that way on the weekend... I'll let you know if you still need them, Pete.

got my lugs for $1/ea at pierces last summer...

the vwfixx store has a good deal on long and chrome lugs... can't find any of the black ones you're looking for though.

Another thing worth mentioning, is pierce has the plastic caps to go over the lugs... They're black and look great.

Got a set for my gf's passat rims.

Cheers.
