Title: Wanted, bolt for alloy wheel hubcap
Post by: Stan_2 on 08 October 2011, 18:13:47

Not sure what you call what I need, it’s some kind of bolt that goes through the hubcap for alloy wheels.

The tool that you use for it has 4 little pins on it to fit in the head of bolt, see pics below

I only need one,  but if I have to I will  buy four.

Year 2000 GLS 16V

Can anyone help?

by rights there are a few different designs of these, they're supposed to be a form of security for you wheels. I'd just use a stainless cap head set screw (ie a bolt that you use an Allen key with M8 I think  :-\)
