Well i was curious as to what they were and searched online. Apparently they are bolts that allow you to run wheels that are a different bolt pattern than what is supposed to be on the car.

Personally i don't think i would try them.

Wobble bolts are junk for numerous reasons...
*they dont fit most aftermarket wheels that require "tuner" lugs as the heads of them are too large. I've seen guys machine them, but wtf why.
*who isn't sick of using bolts... there are studs out there that do the job better and make things much safer, nothing to wobble loose.

DO a proper stud conversion, hubcentric ring, and lugnuts of your choice... much cheaper and easier/safer

Have used them before on my old 211 and will use them again on my new set of wheels.

There is no issue running them. Spacers are worse in my opinion.


ECS sell them, not sure if they are the right thread pitch but I'm sure you can find out.
