Alloy Wheel Bolts


Harvey

Recommended Posts

I have a 2006 Autocruise with five spoke alloy wheels. I have seen these on other makes as well.

Some of the wheel bolts have rusted. Does anyone know a certain source for replacements?

 

I have found bolts online but none which look identical.

 

They are not Peugeot original wheels of course but would have been fitted by the now defunct 'Autocruise CH' company.

Hi.

Are they too far corroded to clean up? You could try taking one or two out of each wheel, give a good wire brush (or better if you know someone with access to a bead blaster) and then spray with aerosol paint. You might be surprised how well they clean up.

Regards

I took 3 bolts off each wheel and cleaned and painted them using Fertan as a base coat then after refitiing I repainted each one where the socket had damaged the new paint in tightening.

 

I used a torque wrench as steel bolts on alloy wheels can cause damage to the seatings if overtightened but I can't remember the setting.

 

Total cost - nowt as I already had all the paint etc - I love it!
