Question are stock Bentley wheel bolts conical or ball seat? I picked up a set of Bentley stock 20" wheels (7 Spoke et 41 part number 3W0601025AA ) to get rid of the prior owners aftermarket salad shooters. I am trying to figure out if the wheel bolts that came with the car will work or not.

I checked flying spurs site and they appear to be ball seat but I am not sure if the picture they have up there is the actual or like some sort of stock photo. The rim feels like its ball seat, I am just trying to confirm my suspicions.

 

Get some engineers' blue and check one of the bolts you have against the new wheel?

Stock Bentley wheels/Lug bolts are BALL seat.

I cannot qualify every series all the way up to present date, but the earlier series are.

 

Just did something similar, but went from Bentley 19s to Bentley 20s.

I believe size is M14 x 1.5 pitch thread and 27 mm for all gen 1 and 2 Continentals (not sure newer models).

Just purchased a set of bolts (not Bentley, since I could get 5 for the price of 1 Bentley sourced bolt) to change wheels as I needed to get rid of the 'security bolts' as the Bentley replacements have little plastic lug covers and the bentley wheels being taken off had a central hub cover over all the bolts. Many a VW use the same bolts. I'll look when I get home for the part #, as scuderia has changed these to an non standard (for VAG) part number.

Edit.. Part number is: 8D0601139D

There's also a PDF somewhere on this forum, with a listing of all Bentley Continental GT wheels through 2012 or so, with pictures, weights, width, offset, bolt part #s and recommended 'usage'

If you need the lug bolt covers, they are here (and other places, for less): https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/par...eel-studs.html

Finally, if you need tire pressure sensors, these are readily available at tpms.com.

 

Sam, thank you for that detail. It is a ball seat bolt.
