    Expand Your Choice in Wheels with wobble bolts

    there are alot of wheels out there for our car but even a nicer classier selection available in the 5x112 lug pattern. this lug pattern is featured on most vw's and audis. while most wheels including factory ones will fit through the holes the lugs may not line up correctly. Raderwerks has come out with a solution to this problem with theyre 14twelve line of wheel lugs and bolts. these have a piece at the bottom that moves to seat the wheel correctly on the hub of the car. im getting these for my car right now so i no longer have to deal with the lug nuts not fitting all the way down



    i know that i have bolts pictured but they also make nuts

    I see those being problems, and no matter how you slice it trying to fit a 5x112 wheel on a 5x114.3 car is just insane. Especially considering there is WAY more than enough coverage with the proper bolt pattern wheel.

    Yeah its not a bad idea in terms of making a product, but I dont know many people who would put these on their car and feel safe. I know I wouldnt.

    Wait, what! You have wheels on your car that dont have a 5x114.3 pattern?

    Innovative but I don't think I'd trust them....could you imagine a wheel getting loose? If I lost a wheel at 35mph + I'd probably shit my pants

    Hm, this might be cool for show purposes, but on a daily driver, or even a weekend car, I don't know if would trust these or not. Granted, if Porsche wheels are in the 5x112 bolt pattern, I would totally get these just so I could fit Porsche wheels on my car, simply for the fact that Porsche makes some of the most beautiful stock wheels on any cars.

    Porsche wheels are 5x130, they don't have a prayer of fitting our cars without swapping in Porsche hubs, axles, and drivetrain. And then you may as well as have bought a Porsche.

    you need to make sure that you put some kind of disclaimer, some newb will read this, try it, and get himself killed or injured, then he'll blame u lol.
