screwloose 6 Posted January 23, 2008 After the sleeper look I'm fitting GTI6 steel wheels (think they were originally the spare). I was just wandering if anyone had done this and whether they had any pointers or tips. Like, for instance, whether the bolts the original 1.9 speedline alloy will fit or do i need another type of bolt? Are there any other steels out there i should be perhaps looking at, if so where do i get them etc. If anyone has got some pics of 205s on steels that would be great. thanks for any help Jonny.

GTI6BOY 29 Posted January 23, 2008 You need to use tapered wheel bolts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTI6BOY 29 Posted January 23, 2008 yeah go for the new style wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screwloose 6 Posted January 23, 2008 so just to clarify........... i don't need to use tapered bolts on the GTI6 spare steel wheel. the standard bolts currently on my standard 1.9 speedlne alloys will fit? thanks, Jonny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screwloose 6 Posted January 23, 2008 In fact can anyone identify what type these wheels are and whether i would need tapered or the standard bolts i currently have. cheers ( see link below) Jonny http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.ph...7689&page=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted January 23, 2008 They're standard 15" steelies and not GTi-6 ones - thus you'll need tapered bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McPikie 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Why not just paint some speedlines black? "Steelies" just look like yopu couldnt afford decent tyres so got a set on the cheap, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTI6BOY 29 Posted January 24, 2008 They're standard 15" steelies and not GTi-6 ones - thus you'll need tapered bolts. They are gti-6 steels the same as on mine They would have to be to go over the huge brakes, i also have 6 brakes The part number for mine and that picture is 5401H7 and they are £30 each and require tapered bolts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
