   Wobble and wheels can never be a good mix
   
   but just wondering on people opinons on these
   what they do?
   and how they work pretty much

   The top of the bolt can move (wobble) so you can fit slightly different pcd's without the need for spacers.

   its only a couple of mill, not like the bolts loose in the hole. aren't they shimmed so that you can fit, say, 98 wheels to a 100 hub?

   Esentially it's just a normal bolt but with a washer, the bolt still goes in the original holes etc but the pressure that would otherwise be directly on your bolt holes of the wheels is put onm the washer instead

   as i said in a previous post about these redline mag did some road tests on these around a track and alot of the bolts failed after a short time they just cant take the stress caused by rotation of the wheel and stresses that need to be coped with by wheel bolts.
