What is this part called?
M14x1.5 Chrome Radiused Short Wheel Bolt – 14mm Thread
What does this part do on a VW?
This chrome wheel bolt is designed for compatible aircooled VW wheels, brake drums and brake discs using an M14x1.5 thread and radiused wheel seat.
The short 14mm thread length makes it suitable for applications where a longer wheel bolt is not 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 steel wheels, as well as compatible Porsche alloy wheels designed for a radius seat. 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, original brake setup, aftermarket brake conversion and wheels fitted.
Radiused wheel bolts are generally used with steel wheels and some Porsche alloy 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.
