What is this part called?
M12x1.5 Chrome Radiused Short Wheel Bolt – 14mm Thread
What does this part do on a VW?
This chrome wheel bolt is designed for compatible wheel hubs using an M12x1.5 thread and a radiused wheel seat.
The short 14mm thread length makes it suitable for applications where a compact wheel bolt is required, helping provide the correct thread engagement without excessive bolt protrusion behind the hub, brake drum or brake disc.
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 bolts particularly suitable for restored and customised vehicles where the wheel fixings remain visible.

Please Note
Vehicle model alone should not be used to confirm wheel bolt compatibility. Classic VWs can use different wheel fixing arrangements depending on the year, brake setup, wheels fitted and any hub or brake conversions.
Radiused wheel bolts 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, thread length and wheel seat profile against your wheels and hubs before purchasing. Correct thread engagement is essential when fitting wheels. A bolt which is too short may not provide sufficient thread engagement, while a bolt which is too long may interfere with components behind the hub, brake drum or brake disc.
