What is this part called?
M12x1.5 Chrome Tapered 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 tapered wheel seat.
The tapered seat is typically used with aftermarket alloy wheels and helps 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 custom and aftermarket wheel installations where the wheel fixings remain visible.

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.
Tapered wheel nuts are generally used with aftermarket alloy wheels. Please check the wheel seat profile carefully before purchasing, as steel wheels and some Porsche alloy wheels commonly use a radiused 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.
