   There are flat seated bolts and there are tapered bolts, so if you have flat seated at the moment then you need tapered bolts and vice versa.

   in that ebay picture, the top left bolts are what was on the car when i bought it, i think the 3rd one along might do the job?

   Yeah, send him a message asking him if their all the same, from that pic, the few top left ones and a few from the bottom right look like tapered ones :/ Get 100 posts on this site, and then you can look at the things people are selling on here, and make a 'wanted' post. Its it comes from this site, more than likely will be the right things.

    ok cheers for that info, yeah i think the tapperd ones are whats on the car but this 1 alloy is off an early vtr, you can see inside the bolt holes where its slightly different,so the tapperd ones arent taking enough bite/thread to make it safe to drive really...what a crap problem to come across haha

    I've had the same problem, tampered bolts will fits, will but ruin the alloys, and make the holes bigger and then will cause the alloys to fall off. You dont want the wheels to be overtaking you! So even if your car is out of action, or put some steelies on until you get the right bolts, better than ruining the wheels.
