I have the steel wheels on my '75 2.0, and I also have a set of the Riv. wheels sitting in my basement. I have heard that you cannot use the steel wheel lugs with the alloy wheels. Could this be done temporally if I kept an eye on how tight the bolts are, or should this not be done at all?

Also someone on the PP board was telling me that there was a set of Audi bolts that would fit, and work with the alloy wheels, has anyone tried this?

Thanks,
~Eric

I don't think you need long wheel bolts for Rivieras, or the other VW empi wheels.

Take one of you wheel bolts and put it through on the holes and see how much stick out the back...

You do need long wheel bolts for the Porsche 4 lug alloys, Pedrinis and Mahles.
