On a side note I have done the same. However I had a spare flat seated wheel bolt similar to the correct ones although it has got a double thread; as in similar to those where it has a thicker one at the back.
Went on like it was made for it and went up tight. I will change the drum when I get around to it but I have had no problems so far.

But they where original designed & certified like that
The amount of people on this thread openly admitting to driving around with 1 or more defective wheel bolts truly shows the mentality of the idiots that are on here

It doesn't surprise me though, there are some real idiots out there, they shouldn't be allowed to own a car let alone drive one, no wonder the young'uns whinge when their insurance premiums are so high !!!!
#23: Re: Little accident, any help :S Author: Alex90, Location: Newcastle-under-lymePosted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:34 am ---- insurance is sky high because young ppl want to shows up...,not because wheels in their cars comming off
#24: Re: Little accident, any help :S Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:41 am ---- Well if your wheels come off and you have a crash then that's another statistic to hype insurance up. Simples
