    alloys on 50

    I have purchased studs for all 4 that I am going to press into the holes, I can give you the size if you want to go that way. Haven't done the job yet as I have other cars to attend to.

    1950 fitment of alloy wheels

    As the 50 has bolts, not studs, fitting alloy wheels that are thicker needs either longer ( conical) bolts or studs it seems.
    Can you get longer bolts or is there another alternative ?
    thanks
