Clio 172 Cup Wheel Bolts

[Oddesy]

This might be a daft question, but has anyone replaced the wheel bolts for their 172 Cup? I ordered some bolts online but the taper is too small for the Speedline Turinis. Mine are all rusted and I want to replace them. I know I need M12 x 1.5 thread size but can someone tell me the correct taper size to fit my wheels? or recommend some that would fit.

I was going to order these, anyone know if they will fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Locking...id=100033&prg=9537&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=270490490010

Cheers people!

 

[Wrighty.]

If it helps I just sprayed mine with some silver hammerite and they came up like new.

I thought about painting mine, but they're in pretty bad condition, they need replacing, one of them actually snapped when I took it out, luckily not in the hub. Got a spare from the garage to tide me over.

Anyone?

not sure how the ones you bought could be wrong, as far as I was aware you either have flat, radius or taper seats and a taper seat is standard at 60 degrees.

The taper was 60 degrees but the length of it was about 5mm shorter than the standard bolt and it wasn't sitting properly in my wheel, I asked the mechanic when I went to get a spare bolt and he said he wouldn't trust them, just going from his advice really.

I bought a new set of locking wheel nuts and 20 normal nuts for around £40 direct from Renault.

Cheers JamieG seems like going through Renault will be my best bet.

Photos of each bolt might help.

I've sent the new ones back as they were no good
