Posted by: Borderline Apr 9 2006, 09:26 PM

I've been ltrying to find a decent set of 2.0 Fuchs for about two years! I've always been a day late and $100 short. I found these on the local Craigslist.....$350...yeeeesss Now can somebody recomend a source for longer studs and lug nuts? I really don't care for the stock screws (bolts).

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks for the tip on boothe design. You're right a little pricey! Good thing they are 4 bolt wheels.

I have a set of the REAL bolts that I'd part with for the right financial incentive .............. The Cap'n

Thanks Cap'n, but I have a problem with trying to hold the wheel (and spacers) in place while trying to thread in the screws. I really like being able to hang the wheels on the studs and then put the lug nuts on.

Go to a VW dealer parts counter and get a "Tommy Bar". It screws right in so you can hang the wheel on it while you line up the other bolt holes. I paid about $3.
