    Where would one get wheel nuts from?!

    I had a tyre on the RS6 start to fall apart today! It's down to 3mm tread but one of the inside front shoulders wore through

    Fortunately I have another set of alloys (stock) with tyres - these are on BBS CH's. After removing the wheel and chiselling off the spacer I realised that the BBS's have a taper wheel nut and stock rims radius

    There goes my plan to just chop them down. I am not convinced I'll have much luck with the dealer over the weekend so any ideas where I can buy a set? Tried halfords, ECP etc to no avail.

      Thanks but yeah a bit far! I think he's cleaned out all his stock, not sure if he's around at the mo? I can't find anywhere high street that sells them so I may have to sort it Tuesday and work from home. My bad luck with cars is catching up with you and Sonic

            Dealer wants £125 for a set of 20 wheel nuts and it'll take a couple of days at least :coo coo:

            Trying various garages, motofactors to no avail today. This situation really is 'nuts'

            If I can't find anything today then I'm looking for a used set that can get posted to me for Thursday. Stock are apparently 17mm M14x1.5 23mm although I can cut anything longer down.

              I see you've already had offers, but I've just taken a complete set off my car and can post next day at cost.

                What exactly are you after, Ross?

                Got plenty of wheel bolts here and 2x sets of stock ones.

                  Just a set of wheel bolts that will hold a set of RS6 alloys onto an RS6 hub! Ideally today as I need a car tomorrow.

                  I took off some BBS CH's only to find the old bolts are tapered rather than radius. I was planning to cut them down as the BBS's are spaced 10mm as well so now I'm sat with a car on the drive with no bolts to put the wheels on...

                  Ive done a bit of research it seems the M14x1.5 radius is pretty std on the Audi range, a lot of aftermarket are 25-26mm thread and i believe the stock at 23mm thread.

                  Local breaker might have some that'll fit, other than that I'll travel a bit to collect tonight or failing that I'll have to use the bus tomorrow and get something sent across for Thursday when I'm next at home.

                  You know what the measurements are for the S2?

                    I had a nightmare trying to find radius bolts at the correct length for my speedlines when i got them.. managed to find a weird corner/tool shop that stocked them in kettering but id never have found it if somebody hadn't said.

                    I think i paid £3 each but then had to find somewhere to cut them down in a panic a few hours before i set off the Spa.

                    Looking at Amazon where you could order them next-day then a set of 5 M14x1.5 radius bolts are £35... which would be £140 for 4 sets, so Audi's price doesn't look THAT bad.

                      Owning a RS6 must be nice I would just buy them from audi to save all the hassle. At least you know they are the correct ones!

                        Ross, I've got a set of OE bolts at 28mm and a set of 40mm aftermarket, both with radius seat.
