   What wheel bolts are you using? I've been using my vtr bolts for a year but just recently noticed they aren't tightening as once they did and seem to be getting swarf on the thread.

   a Dwarf on the thread?!
   
   standard flat type wheel bolts will be fine.

   so its pulling the threads from the hub?
   
   I'd get new hubs.
   
   have you got the standard flat washer bolts or tapered ones?

   Flat washer type, looks like the thread just under the washer on the vtr bolts are eating into the actual wheel, hope hubs are ok!

   Correct me if i am wrong but it rings a bell that you need the earlier flat type bolts. The newer type will only let a few mm of thread through into the hub.
   
   At least this is true for 205 wheels. You can get them off 205s / 309s and I assume 306s as well (depending on the alloys fitted)

   Bugger I had a set of the 205 bolts an sold them on! I've already ordered a set of the ones like the lower set out of your pics but they are smooth under the washer instead of having that threaded bit

   Now ordered 205 bolts too so will send back the ones that don't fit! The 205 ones are stupidly expensive
