Hey everyone,
I'm getting rid of my alloys and going back to standard steel wheels, does anyone know where I could get the correct wheel bolts from? As my understanding is the wheel bolts for after market alloys are longer?
Thanks!

It's not that they are longer, steelies used a tapered edge so by using standard alloy bolts you are dramatically recuding the surface area contact.
Scrappy would be good, they aren't worth anything really

£1.99 each at any Peugeot / Citroen main dealer.
It's a shock to find steel wheel bolts are more expensive then the alloy ones
