My 2002 came with BBS sport pkg wheels and space saver spare. It came with two bolts

One is very short for holding the space saver in place, and the other is longer for when you have to hold the BBS wheel in the spare hole. I don't have part numbers at this time. (I don't use a spare anymore)

2nd one sounds perfect - would greatly appreciate it if you could get p/n!

Picture would be awesome too, but even just p/n would be big help!

Boy am I stupid!

Above the "cheese wheel" is a plastic cap. I kept thinking the whole thing somehow interlocked.... NOPE. Just *pull* the cap off, and all of a sudden I see all the plastic tabs folks were talking about.

Sigh. Disassembles in seconds, leaving off the plastic push-on cap means it'll all fit beautifully with a bolt another 20-30mm longer. Now to find someone in town who sells metric bolts!

Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!
