What is this part called?
M12x1.5 Chrome Radiused Wheel Bolt – 27mm 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 27mm thread length makes it suitable for applications requiring a medium-length wheel bolt, including compatible steel wheel installations and certain custom wheel or brake setups.
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 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, and all clearances should be checked before the vehicle is driven.
