can anyone help

Aftermarket wheels need new bolts, since VAG wheels use a radius head wheel bolts, and most aftermarket wheels use tapered head nuts, and the nut may need to be longer I assume you're still getting the brocks?

I noticed you're in Harrow. My dad has a tyre and wheel shop in Mitcham, about 20 miles away. He can supply them for you for Â£1 each. If you need any help, give him a call at 02086483865, asking for Dave Ryan, and say Ollie referred you. Otherwise, the bolts can be picked up from Grayston engineering or ebay.
