   First of all I know this has been done to death and there's loads old threads but I'm just getting conflicting info on it.
   
   I'm picking up my freshly powder coated S wheels this week and I never really thought about wheel bolts. Well I did but I was going to get originals from citroen.
   
   However the woman at the powder coaters is going to stuck in chromed valves and I thought I'd best get some chromed wheel nuts as I don't want them let down by some shitty bolts.
   
   I know I'll need a tapered bolt but the length of then is doing my head in and the ones I've seen vary so much. So can anyone tell me, or better still whip a wheel nut off there VTS for me and measure it. I'm looking for the total length of the bolt and just the thread length.
   
   Thanking you all kindly

   Cheers mate but the vtr ones are different. Vts ones are taperedso the thread length I'd different. Just going to have to take a shot as there's different sizes.
   
   Cheers anyway.

   I thought the R and the S both used 'flat' bolts rather than tapered. oopss..
