Restored Genuine German HWE Lug Bolts 

Elevate your chassis restoration with authentic, period-correct hardware. These are genuine OEM German-made lug bolts—the original equipment supplied by Volkswagen and Porsche. Featuring the sought-after HWE and KAMAX headstamps, these bolts offer the structural integrity and precision fitment that modern, mass-produced reproductions simply cannot match.

Each bolt has been rescued from vintage stock, thoroughly inspected, and refinished to a standard that meets the needs of high-end restorations and show-quality builds.

Refurbishment & Quality Control

• Media Cleaned: Stripped of decades of road grime and oxidation to reveal the original high-strength steel.

• Hand-Inspected: We verify that all $14mm \times 1.5$ threads are crisp and the 19mm hex heads are free from rounding or impact damage.

• Premium Black Zinc Finish: Professionally coated in black zinc for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. This provides a clean, "factory-plus" look that is far more resilient than standard paint or low-grade plating.

Technical Details

• Manufacturers: HWE / KAMAX (Original German OEM)

• Thread Size: $14mm \times 1.5$

• Seat Profile: Ball Seat (Radius) — Correct for factory steel wheels.

• Design: Features the iconic recessed "dimple" head and factory logos.

Confirmed Fitment

These $14mm$ bolts are the standard for 4-lug (4x130) VW models and certain early Bus applications:
