studs Explanation: There are actually a few other words (caps, domes etc) but probably the word is "studs" (See picture below) . It may also refer to the head of the bolt (which might be translated with seat) Reference: http://www.jbugs.com/category/empi-vw-wheels-studs-nuts.html Reference: http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Press-In-Wheel-Studs-14mm-X-1-5... |

| Reference: Any pictures? Reference information: Hi Daniel, Is there anything particular about these specific wheels? Normally the reason for getting the right torque is to prevent the wheel from coming off if it is too loose or to avoid stripping the thread on the nuts or making it impossible to loosen the nuts without breaking them. If they are too tight, not tightened diagonally, they could deform the wheel itself. As I remember from the many times I worked on my ancient mini many years ago, the hubcaps are things which you lever off with a screwdriver and then just kick back on with your foot (or sometimes just forget), once the wheel is firmly back on. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2014-01-30 16:08:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thought I'd posted this as a discussion rather than reference, oh well. Hi Daniel, the moderators might give you a slap on the wrist or just take the reference down, but your client might take you to court and bankrupt you for life. I would ask your client in writing for a new car that isn't on sale yet. If the manufacturer has published pics on its website, then... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2014-01-30 16:23:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well there is certainly no traditional hub cap that goes over the wheel nuts there. It is a sports car which traditionally doesn't have a cap or cover to hide the nuts but prefers to show them off. Logically, the only thing you could deform here is the wheel itself or studs inside or... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2014-01-30 16:25:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thoughts now I know it is a sports car, they look as if they have no hubcaps of "wheel trim", but they do and the wheel nuts go through them. http://www.rockshore.uk.com/phantom-graphite-silver-wheel-tr... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2014-01-30 16:26:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "wheel trim" |
