    I'm putting alloys on my wife's Octavia. Will the existing bolts, being used with steel wheels, be ok to use with the alloys?

    If they are factory VW group alloys then yes, the bolts are the same.

    If they are aftermarket alloys then they probably use a flat tapered seat bolt rather than the standard rounded radius seat bolts currently on the car. Depending on the wheel the bolts may also need to be longer so if they are aftermarket wheels you should get new bolts to suit.

    The middle one is used for factory fitted VAG wheels. Other ones can be expected in aftermarket wheels.
