Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily. A special adapter is required to turn the anti-theft wheel bolts* link.
Rims
Rims with a bolted rim flange* or bolted trim parts* consist of several components. A special technique is applied to bolt these components together. Never attempt to repair or dismantle them .
WARNING
If the wheel bolts have not been tightened or serviced correctly, they can come loose, and you could lose control of the vehicle – risk of accident! For the correct tightening torque, refer to link.
  • Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads in the wheel hubs are always clean and free from grease.
  • Only use wheel bolts that are designed to match the rims on your car.
  • Always have damaged rims repaired by a qualified workshop. Never attempt to repair or dismantle rims yourself - risk of accident!
