      Stock VW wheels

      Hey, what is the trick for running stock volkswagen wheels on an aveo? The wheels I have are ball seat style lug bolts I think.

      you just buy that style lug. (the oem lugs wont work with most other aftermarket wheels either).

      Were stock Honda wheels the same seat as VW?

      No. Most of them are just conical seat.

      Actually, from my research, all Honda stock aluminum wheels were ball seat.

      And for the record Honda charges between $5 and $11 for stock lug nuts. Lets see, $11 x 16 = $176 plus taxes! $5 for 25 lug nuts and a head light bulb at the wreckers! Normally I would go to the wreckers and get used lug nuts but I think I was justified this time!

      yeah, the 4x100 honda used ball seat a lot of the time depending on model.. year.. type of wheel.

      you can get new ball seat 12x1.5 nuts for like $30 shipped.. probably less.. but going to a yard for $5 works.
