Not sure if I should cross-thread it or force Buying an official VW/Audi wheel hanger from DAP that screws all the way into the frame. On the attached picture you can see the official VW/Audi hangers (the longer one at the rear) and the shorter StanceMagic hangers (at the They are both screwed in as much as possible, but the threads on the StanceMagic are still exposed.

In case your vehicle has lug bolts (rather than lug nuts) you'll need them, and in fact, you should have two of them. The alignment pins are necessary to put a tire on a car because one needs two hands to align the wheel and tire holes to the car hole and the other hand to thread the lug bolt. I felt like I was on reality television trying If you get two alignment pins, it will be much easier to hang the wheel.

Despite my expectations, I found this pin to be an excellent fit for my 2017 Audi Q7. The article could be a little longer if it weren't so short. Having a knurled tip would make it easier to remove once the wheel is back on and the other four lug bolts are in place, but the sharp tip seems to work fine. A very different wheel design might not be an issue since all of them are As part of the original manufacturer's tool kit, I received an aluminum pin. After the first use, the screw got stuck in the threads and required the use of an adjustable wrench to remove, which damaged the screw beyond making it useful. Metals with different properties will do that to each other. Audi must have put that in the kit for some reason. As far as I can tell, the pin doesn't function very well, so it's all about saving weight. The item is made of steel, so you shouldn't have any problems with it I'd say it should last a long time. If you don't care about the black finish coming off right away, it's a good thing to have if you do your own wheel repairs.

14x1 metric. I am a member of the 3SDM. The wheels are used twice at a time). It is even possible to use an electric impact wrench (which I recommend anyone who repairs their own cars to do! easy to hold the wheel in the right place to torque it down properly with just one person. It helps tremendously in alignment of the lug bolt holes on vehicles without lug nuts (that is most euro compacts) because it holds the wheel at the correct location for the lug bolt holes. like how this has a rounded end, which makes this vastly more useful than just cutting off the head of a long bolt for the same purpose (what I used before spending money on There's only one thing I wish was different, I wish there was perhaps a less abrasive finish or a protective coating on the surface that contacts the It would have been better to remove the textured grips at the end since they feel like they might scratch the coating on the inside of the bolt holes once installed, but it will not be evident once installed so it's not a significant issue.

After putting on wheels this way for so many years, finally tired of it. It was pouring rain in a very maddening way. Why did I not realize these had already been made? Originally I was planning on buying threaded studs. These are much better and more affordable. Now there is no more balancing wheel, no more twisting to align holes you cannot see, no more crossing your fingers that the stud does not cross thread. Wouldn't it be great if a $80-plusK BMW included these for free? I prefer these to a tow hook that costs $30 per year. A pair of wheel hangers was purchased. Attach two hangers to two studs by pulling them out. Pull hangers and add studs. Tighten. Replace my snow tire. Put three studs through the vents. Switch out my snow tire. Put in three studs through the vents. For the remainder of the tires, repeat step 2. This is torque. It used to make me feel so frustrated and cold when the fourth wheel came around. This has made me look like a professional.

I get it, it is intended for the wheel to be guided. It does that fine. The end of the nut is knurled to keep it in place when screwing it into a bolthole. The holes around the holes will unfortunately also be scratched by this method. It could also benefit from a bit more diameter so it fits the wheel bolt hole better, but that is a minor point. If you don't want the powder coated wheels scratched, you can just buff the knurl off or make one from a bolt.

It is the rod that I am using to polish chrome lug nuts on a buffing wheel (I am getting tired of removing It is worth mentioning that some foreign vehicles do not use lug nuts like other vehicles I usually deal with. Here are some wheel hangers I found. I'll be able to do my job without any problems with this. A person who put wheels on a car without studs would have to be a bear to do it.

The price was the cheapest one I could find at the time I ordered, and it works just fine. Installing the wheels on the car is a little easier now. I can't really say much more about it because it is a fairly simple device. If I ever need it again, I will get it.
