Greetings all.

I've currently got a FLS3 SB with 18inch OEM rims. I purchased a lovely set of 19inch OzRacing Ultralegga HLT rims privately and on getting my local tyre shop to swap them over was told my OEM bolts were too short.....I now understand when you purchase directly they are supplied with the rims but can anyone suggest a) the size of bolt required to fit 19" rims, and b) where I can source them (and ideally in black as I notice ECS a US co supply them in black zinc which would go with my matte black rims)
 
Another point is that generally with aftermarket alloys you need to use tapered bolts and not radius bolts that come with OEM Audi alloys. Your OZ alloys will require tapered bolts.
