    I have to work a bit on Citroen xsara, 2001, goes from steel wheels to aftermarket alloy wheels. Alloy wheels sourced from other same citroen in scrapyard. was on three alloys , fourth was in boot due damaged tire. took off three alloys with strange bolts, longer one, than original, from one metal wheel. so original bolts wont fit, as it is around 7mm too short. where i may get them ?

    Was in dealers , number tyre fitters, pro parts, and some motor shops, none could help.

    Any idea where to get them ?

    It is M12 x 1.25 , thread shall be at least 3 cm or longer . I need only 4 of them.

    picture atached.

    Just ordered from uk ebay. delivery charges to Ireland are really silly , they want 10 GBP plus extra 1 for additional bolt. Used parcel motel, at the end it goin to cost me under 7 GBP for 4 bolts, and probably 3.50 euro for parcel motel, but they claims first two stays are free. will see.
