Shocking some of the advice on here. You dont neglect / botch anything that compromises safety.

That is sick. Always have to push the boat out don't you 
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

Well if your wheels come off and you have a crash then that's another statistic to hype insurance up. Simples

My GTi had 4 in the space of 6 months last year, but i know the lad is an absolute tool and wont spend money on cars, so will have just got the cheapest parts possible that are allready on there last legs.
