Steve, investigate this matter carefully. I also opted for Audi wheels and
discovered it's difficult to find the correct 17mm ball-type seat that's
LONG enough (35mm).
When I searched for bolts I found 17mm ball-types that were 27mm long (fits
stock Audi) and 19mm ball-typed that were 35mm long (fits stock EV) but I
could not find 17mm ball-types that were 35mm long (to fit Audi wheels on
the EV).
I ended up finding 17mm ball-type seats that were 45mm long on eBay (for use
with low-riders that use thick spacers for extra wide tracks) and then I
manually hacksawed 10mm off of each bolt. It was pretty tedious.
(BTW, the short 27mm Audi bolts WILL mount on the EV, but only FOUR threads
catch. The bolts really need to be 35mm long.)

<< Steve, what have you got for lug bolts for those wheels? >>
I don't know yet what lug bolts they need. I have a set on order and haven't
received them yet. My supplier says he used the originals on his '93, but I
think most alloys have a cone seat and not a ball type like the steel wheels.
Also most alloys use 17mm bolts ant not 19mm.
Either way, I have a source for lug bolts at reasonable prices.
