Default I made a mistake :(

So I was reassembling my wheels yesterday and when torqueing the two pieces of the wheels back together I snapped one of the bolts .... Anyone ever do this and have to replace one?? Any idea where I can get a replacement bolt ( that looks the same ) ...

Thanks.

Well, the mfg is Volk, they are Gt-s, I called Mackin, they said they will not let them order bolts because they're assembled by a machine and its a liability... blah blah blah...

I think he means the tiny bolts that hold two-pieces wheels together, not the lug nuts.

I lost one on my Advans and never found a direct replacement; of course the wheels were 20+ years old. You would think wheels bolts are semi-universal but they aren't. Good luck.

Tried that, unfortunately hardware stores don't carry those bolts. They carry that size, but different looking heads, I just don't want it to look like *** with 19 factory bolts and 1 shitty one. Trying to find some ****ed up volks that maybe someone can sell me one.
