I think I would like to refresh all my wheel bolts as I have heard of a few stories where some peoples wheels have come off. I dont know what mine are at the minute, or if they are even just standard.
Im not sure if it makes a difference but I have 18" Azev C, 8.5 j and I think the ET MIGHT be 30.
Any advice, tips or even direct links would be great!
Thanks.

As long as you torque them correctly I would have thought they would be fine. I've swapped my to studs and nuts.

Its funny this comes up, there was an issue at SPA with this. Though I think it was the threads being pulled from the bolts.

The problem with aftermarket bolts and standard wheels is the seat taper is often wrong, this leads to little contact between bolt and wheel which causes them to work loose.
Since you've got aftermarket wheels I'm not sure if this is relevant or not. It's easy to measure a bolt and see if you can match it via a decent tuning site or fleabay (the listings often have a picture with dimensions/angles attached.
