Warning on these bolts, I got a set from a wrecking yard last year and they are very similar to the Vanagon alloy bolts. However when I did the paint test on them to see if they would seat properly in the bolt hole, they didn't. The taper is just a little too wide and so instead of the taper touching the wheel, the edge touches giving you a false "tight" feeling which will loosen going down the road. I just took them to a grinder and ground off about 1/8 inch all the way around and then they worked fine. Just a heads up.
