Right, so today I swapped out my standard 14" Peugeot alloy wheels to some of the original 15" Gti wheels (foudre?)! All is good but I used the same alloy wheel bolts which started making my rear drum brakes make a weird pinging noise, checked it out at a tyre place and they are fine but I have the wrong sized alloy wheel bolts apparently. I was wondering what size I need to get? Im on a budget because im a student so if anyone can suggest a cheap set that would be fantastic 
Edit: Bolt length seemed to be the problem
Thanks

They already have flat seated alloy bolts? I'm persuming if they came off 14" alloy wheels.

They look the right ones, I don't know why but I heard you can't use standard flat seated alloy bolts (nimrods, vortexs etc) but I think you have already found that out.
