What is this part called?
M12x1.5 Chrome Radiused Wheel Nut
What does this part do on a VW?
This chrome wheel nut is designed for compatible wheel studs using an M12x1.5 thread and a radiused wheel seat.
The radiused seat is typically used with compatible steel wheels, helping centre and secure the wheel correctly against the hub when matched with the correct wheel seat profile.
The chrome finish provides a clean appearance, making these nuts particularly suitable for visible wheel fixing applications on restored and customised vehicles.

Please Note
Vehicle model alone should not be used to confirm wheel nut compatibility. Classic VWs can use different wheel fixing arrangements depending on the year, brake setup, stud conversion and wheels fitted.
Radiused wheel nuts are generally used with compatible steel wheels. Please check the wheel seat profile carefully before purchasing, as many aftermarket alloy wheels use a tapered seat instead.
Please check the thread size, stud length and wheel seat profile against your wheels and hubs before purchasing. Correct thread engagement is essential when fitting wheels, and the nuts must fully engage the wheel studs without bottoming out.
