Hi All,

I am waiting on delivery of a set of 18" rims which I am putting on my 156 ( currently sits on the standard 16" telephone dial rims ). However , the garage have informed me that because of the Alfa's unique fitment I will have to get WOBBELY BOLTS in order for these to fit the car. Has anyone heard of these types of bolts and are they safe to use ? Will I require any special socket to remove them if I get a puncture or am I being overly cautious about this ? Has anyone fitted these to a 156 and had any problems with them ?
