I want to replace all of my lug bolts, due to age, and a few questionable bolts..

Anyone know where to get a new set-besides the big vendors who charge 24.00 ea! for them?? do FLAPS carry them?? I need the longer bolts for the 2.0 alloy's 78mm I think,

I just got a set of 16 chrome plated lug bolts on ebay for $75.

The same guy has another set for sale on ebay now.

They look like good quality, although I have not yet installed them.

My Fuchs will be back from the polisher this weekend!

probably not... the ones I have, that I *assume* are original have a 33mm shaft, these are longer... they also have a different finish, they are silver, but not shiny, almost like galvanized metal...

they are very nice lug bolts though, and plenty long for my western wheels

I just checked, these are right, 38mm was the stock length for cars with alloy wheels, just curious though, why did you get the ball style instead of the cone style? -the flange on the bolts looks like a cone to me, but I'm not sure what this refers to??

All of the 914 OEM wheels use a Ball Seat, which has a rounder profile than the Cone Seat. You must use the right one or the contact area will be very small.

I checked my FLAPS and while we came close to finding the right size, they didn't have it... closest I came was a shorter VW part version...

Not to beat this to death, but I just realized that the size were were talking about is 35mm, and the stock bolts were 38mm..

-is 35mm long enough? or should I go up to the next length and get them in the 40mm length..

sorry,

but those are listed as 35mm, at least that's what the page says when you scroll over to it on their web site.

my bad, I could have SWORN that number was 38mm... the 35mm works fine on my wheels(note: I don't have Fuchs), but if you are concerned you can go to the next length up... 40mm, for $1.00 more each...

Why would you even THINK you could get what you need at PEP Boys or any other FLAPS? They're NOT likely to have ANYTHING you'd want to use on your 914 (or any other German car, for that matter), and they'll sell you whatever it takes to get you out the door ........................... They just don't give a rat's a** The Cap'n

they were the bolts for a beetle...

I gamble a little bit since there isn't a VW/porsche shop anywhere close... closest one is in Bedford(Zim's) and that is close to an hour drive... it was one of those things... "while I'm here getting carb cleaner and oil, do you have anything like this?"
