Anyone have a source for PCD Variation bolts? "Wobbly bolts" are common in Europe, even TUV approved, yet nobody in the US seems to have heard of them...
I could order them from from Great Britain of course... for $45, plus $65 or so shipping

"Wobble bolts" brought up plenty of results for me.

Damn, my Google-fu has failed me.
Looks like if I had a VAG product I'd be set! Now to see if anyone actually carries M12x1.25 versions...
Looks like there is 12x1.5....
What are you trying to put them on, out of curiosity?
A little way down the page...

Bingo! Though at over $5 each I could pretty much order them from Europe :lol:
Working out wheel options for the Alfa... 5x98 bolt circle, 12x1.25 bolt thread. There are wheels out there to fit, but of course the selection in 5x100 is way higher (and cheaper)
Now to compare price to fitment options with wobbly bolts vs. bolt on adapters and the difference in offsets. Alfa takes a 35 ish offset, so a 10mm thick adapter opens up the realm of FWD 45 offset wheels as well!

One important thing to keep in mind is that wobble bolts won't work if the wheels are not hubcentric to the hub. If you plan on running wobbles with spacers you might never get things centered......that is unless the spacers have a spigot that fits snugly around the hub and into the bore of the wheel.
